The worst part of your statement is that "It has nothing to do with denying Scripture." It has everything to do with Scripture. God created all mankind in Adam and Eve. Unless you deny that, God's Word tells us that we are all from the SAME PARENTS or the same gene pool. One cannot say we are different races without subverting language and logical thought.

Please Phil, you know I didn't say that as my other lengthy comment makes clear. Your comment is absurd.
Starting a response with "So... (completely misstate what the person said) is a pretty tired strawman trick, thought you were above that. Guess not. Shame as we've had great discussions on here respectfully in the past.
OK, I'll back up and apologize. I assumed too much. To the point, how does "species adaptation" refute my statement here: "The worst part of your statement is that "It has nothing to do with denying Scripture." It has everything to do with Scripture.

I think that what everyone is trying to express is that yes, we ARE all of a singular RACE as in species—the human race- but that we have since subverted the term race to mean different things like genetic/physical characteristics eg skin color, eye appearance etc. Kind of how we all used to understand that a vaccine was an injection used to *prevent* someone from catching a disease by teaching the immune system how to recognize /fight it but now it’s just any old thing big pharma wants to stick in a syringe and sell without proving anything or being liable for damages done. Language subversion is important when one wants people fighting about stupid stuff or to get away with murder.
Here is something to consider, Biblically, and something I wonder about.
Why did God tell the Israelites in the early OT not to mix with others and many times were told to destroy everything and take nothing? Was it to protect them from evil, meaning all they had was defiled? Was it only for religeous reasons? Couldn't they just believe in God and denounce other gods?
God would leave the flock for just one if it could be saved which means none could be saved. Sodom & Gomorrah is another example as Abraham could not find ONE righteous person. God already knew.
Also, since there were giants created by the fallen angels having relations with women, did the giants have offspring?
I believe the Book of Enoch goes into more detail but Jude 1:4-6 speaks of ungody people designated to pervert and deny God's grace. Are they devil's seed or did God already know their choices to predestine them?
4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved[c] a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day—

Not true Phil, unless you deny species adaptation (not the same as evolution) takes place as I explain below.
So... you hold to Darwinian evolution of one species into another completely different species. Have fun with that.

Phil: Yes, we are from the same original parents, Adam and Eve. Now, you tell me why we don't all look alike, then. I'll wait.
Nor did I ever say this about Darwinian evolution, citing Ken Ham's explanation of 'kind' in the Ark story.
