Well the earth has only been here for about 6000 years anyway, duh!

Because the whole world was not technically flooded, but that area by the Nile/Egypt/Mesopotamia was flooded pretty bad. They just thought the whole world because they did not understand how large the actual world was.
I get that. I'm referring to those that believe the literal word, that the ENTIRE earth was flooded.

How do people that believe in Noah's Ark explain race/ethnicity?
Are you really trying to have a logical discussion with someone who believes the Ark story to be literal truth?

If Noah had to collect two of every kind, wouldn't that make him a world traveler?

An easy explanation is that the Black Sea near Crimea and Turkey wasnt always flooded. If the rock dam that held it back was near Istanbul, and broke, people in the now Black Sea would have thought their world was flooding.

How did the races evolve from primordial ooze?
I don't know how abiogensis happened.
Once single celled organisms formed, all living things developed through natural selection. Races likely formed due to thousands of years of isolation from each other with climate/environment being the most likely factors in change.

I went to Catholic school for 4 years.. And during that time, it seems like, in religion class, we were often told that the Old Testament stories were mostly parables..
This is how Webster defines parables.
This is how Webster defines parables.
quote:
Definition of parable : a usually short fictitious story that illustrates a moral attitude or a religious principle the Biblical parable of the Good Samaritan; also : something (such as a news story or a series of real events) likened to a parable in providing an instructive example or lesson In some ways, his life is a parable of the corrupting effect of great wealth, for he always assumed that everyone was after his money and out to cheat him. —Gavin Stamp By the summer of 2014, 380 House members and 74 senators had signed on as sponsors …. The ABLE Act had become a force. Yet in a parable of how Washington works, the bill still had a long way to go. —Gail Russell Chaddock

Natural selection and billions of years.

Not necessarily, I'd just like to know the explanation. It doesn't have to be logical. And I won't argue with the person that posts it or poke holes in it. I'm just curious as to the reasoning.

Tower of Babel story:
"These people were originally of one blood, all descended from Noah through his three sons. But after God destroyed the Tower of Babel, the descendants of these sons migrated to different parts of the Middle East: Japheth's descendants moved west into Anatolia (Turkey) and Greece; Ham's descendants went south into Arabia and Egypt; and Shem's descendants remained in the east in what we know today as Iraq. From these three genealogies in Genesis 10, we discover where the tribal and national divisions of the ancient Near East developed."
Apparently, to Evangelicals, Orientals, native Americans and Negroes are like Palestinians there are no such things.

Based on genetics it's possible. Skin color is characterized by the dominance or recessivity of a single allele. If the allele is more dominant in offspring then the skin is darker and if it is recessive the skin is lighter. With two parents of different genotypes, it's scientifically possible

Like anything else in the Bible, it comes down to this:
You believe or you don't. If everything was explained away with science or facts or archaeological finds, then it wouldn't be hard to believe the Bible. Christianity is based upon faith.
You'll be better served trying to find a cure for cancer.

There aren't verifiable answers that satisfy every or many questions in any explanation of creation.
For example, evolution doesn't make sense because we basically evolved either from some plant matter/ amoeba and at some point turned from asexual reproduction to sexual reproduction. How did reproduction exist in transition? At what point did two nonintellectual beings decide to stick a P in a V to recreate?
Evolving from a chimp or whatever doesn't make sense either because there aren't any half and halves, and there are still a variety of monkeys. There are again, only theories to suggest why this doesn't occur today.
There also aren't a lot of skeletons or fossils like there are dinosaur fossils to support a transition from ape to man. What we have are skeletons with unverifiable theories.
In the Noah's Ark question, it is possible that there is some level of adaptation and evolution principals that are true. I can buy that theory easier than a big bang theory.
