Good question, but I did read something in a book, 'Eat Right For Your Type' by Dr. Peter D'Adamo. He was talking about how humans evolved after they started migrating from Africa. (Archeological evidence suggests the human race started in Africa; if that's true, everybody's ancestors came from Africa!) Anyway, some people migrated north and developed lighter complexions because lighter skins tolerate cold temperatures better. So those people because the Caucasian race. People with darker skins tolerate heat better. So maybe that's the answer. I guess it has to do with melanin.

Christians believe in active recruitment. This is based on the belief that Jesus, just before ascending into Heaven, bade the disciples to go out into the world and spread the word. However, I think Christians can at times be over-enthusiastic with this. You know the old saw "You can lead the horse to water, but can't make him drink?" Well, if the horse is thirsty, he'll drink. People of non-Christian religions who are satisfied with their faiths are drinking out of a different river than are Christians. Christians should try to reach the "thirsty horses." And what about me? I don't recruit at all! I see a bigger picture. For example, I don't worry about Jews not believing in Jesus. Why not? They're God's chosen people; this is part of Christian belief. Will God "unchoose" his people just because they don't believe in Jesus? I doubt it. I think the Deity's plan actually includes everybody and s/he is much more merciful than we can imagine. And people who believe in the Goddess ... maybe the Deity is female; how do we know? My own belief is that the supreme being includes both genders. Whether s/he is called "God" or "Goddess" depends on the culture. Christians, Jews and Muslims have a God, while other societies may have a Goddess. But it's still the Supreme Being.
