How do we get different races of creatures

 I hate changing the subjecty in the middle of a sequence like the one about lying signs and wonders, but since Google messed up my blog I no longer have access to my other blogs in ofrder to keep things from iterfering from one another.   aND i JUST HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT THIS.

tHIS IS  A RESPONSE TO THE LATEST lET'S tALK cREATION EPISODE IN WHICH gARNER AND wOOD ANWER READER'S OR i SHOULD SAY LISTENERS' QUESTIONS, AND wOOD ANSWERS A QUETSION ABOUT HOW THE PEOPLEL ON nOAH'S ARK DIVERSIFIED INTO THE VARIOUS RACES AFTER THE fLOOD.  hE SAYS THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW, AND CLAIMS THERE REALL    Y  really isn't such a thing as race anyway, which drives me razy.

Race is just one of the terms for a variation in a species that forms a population unto itself.  You can also call it a population as many do, or a variation or some such.   The problem is just that it's become a politically charged confusion that causes all sorts of mental gyrations in the attempt to avoid the hot button.  

Call it a population if you prever, all it menasa is that some bportio of a gene pool gets isolated from the main population or other populations of the same species and interbreeds within its own group until a general change occurs in its appearance that sets it apart from the other populations of the same species.  That's all it is and it follows ordinary porinciplesa of genetic variation.    Ten lizards were set loose on an isoland with no other lizards and over thirty years they developed a different appearance as a whole populatioin from the populatio on the mainland from which they were origianlly taken.  That's the principle in action.   How do you get Chinese people who look different from Tibetan people who look different from Indian people who look different from Arab people who look different from European pewople etc etc etc.  Same pirinciple.  

ddAs for the people on the ark you just have to assume that each of tof the wibves of the three sons of Noah carried a genome that had all the variety in it to make a new population after  the people had exanded into new populations from the ark.   Noah himself may have had sufficient variation in his genome for that matter.  So would his sons then.   It's a simplew principle.  I'll come back and spell out my understanding of it later.
