Take the Bible at its value, which is the inspired word of God, not the scribblings of uneducated people. As a Christian, allow me to answer your question directly with references to scripture (which is actually very clear on this issue). First of all, the Bible refers to people by their tribe or nation (where they geographically live) and not race (typically used to describe physical characteristics). Even as late as the New Testament (a time when very educated people advanced many of the principles that our nation adheres to today), it was understood that there was no such thing as ‘race’ (Acts 17:26). In Genesis 11:8-9 we read of God dividing people by language and dispersing them geographically. Modern genetics easily explains how different physical characteristics come about based on the environment where one lives (over a long period of time of course!). The point is that we always were and still are one race – the human race.

Great question! Let me point you to a specific web site that answers this question even more in-depth. See http://www.answersingenesis.org . The short answer is that Adam and Eve had several children, and they could intermarry and interbreed without fear of genetic mutation – but don’t let me steal the site’s thunder!
