Acts 17:26 - 26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

I once heard a scientist explain it somewhat like this.... This is my paraphrasing.
Think of the human race like dogs - not that we are dogs. However, if you take one dog and breed it with another dog, different pups are born. Then you take those pups and breed them with each other, then you've created a new breed. If you take any breed of dog, and google it, you'll find how they came to be. Some of them, you'll see were bred for a different purpose.
This is the same with humans. You take humans, and breed the same ones with each other, you'll get a new breed - or race. It's in our DNA. Magenta, in Post #3, shows how different races got started by "breeding" people together.
I'm the only one in my entire family, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, and my sister (except my daughter) that has this complete combination: red hair, fair skin with freckles, and blue eyes. I'm like the odd ball in my family. ...hehe...

Sorry, but this is partly wrong, at least. I had dark brown hair and my husband had very dark brown hair. Two of our children had blonde hair, which is recessive to the brown. So his recessive blonde combined with my recessive blonde and the result was two blonde children.
Same with brown eyes. If both the people who have brown eyes, have a recessive blue eye, then there is a 1/4 chance of producing a blue eyed child. My parents were green and brown, which are dominant, and I was blue eyed, because each of my grandfathers with blue eyes gave my parents a recessive blue gene, then 25% chance of blue eyes. I also had a best friend growing up with dark brown hair and blue eyes, and she had two sisters with red hair, and a brother with light blonde, although her father was dark brown, and her mother reddish.
But I admit I am not sure about 2 blond haired people. Just because the genetics is much more complex than just a recessive gene being expressed. Well, except for the fact that my parents were both born with blonde hair, and it became much darker as they grew older. I was born dark brown and it stayed that way until I turned gray.
I will say gray hair makes a lot more sense on me than very dark brown. With my blue eyes and fair complexion, it seems to fit more. It always shocks me to see pictures of myself before my hair turned gray. One time I even wondered why I would have dyed my hair so dark, then I remembered that was the real colour! LOL
My father had brown hair. His parents also had brown hair. His parent's parents, and all of his parents siblings had brown hair.
My mother had brown hair. Her parents had brown hair, as did her siblings. Her parent's parents and all of their siblings had brown hair.
Same deal with my stepmom. (Brown hair from a family of brown-haired people for at least two generations before her.)
Dad, mom and stepmom had a total of six kids. One is blonde. Did she evolve? I can guarantee she's not the milkman's daughter.

In my opinion that is a valid question since genetics as with any true science must have for its basis a system of principles upon which it is founded.
Just as human reproduction requires cell fusion between a male and female in order for the procreation of a newborn to occur, this cell fusion also only occurs when the genetic codes of the two gametes are congruous as evident by the fact a human male gamete cannot produce cell fusion with the gamete of a female primate, nor can a gamete from a male primate produce cell fusion with a gamete of a female since man and primate are cut from the same strand yet encoded distinctly separate.
And in such, the principle of cell fusion does not drift, mutate or evolve, nor does it vary but holds linearly true in perpetuity. So if a female can just spontaneously become pregnant by Nature then I got stoned for nought.
I would aver to John 14:26 but like it is written in Isaiah 29:11-13, then John 6:46 would answer which one was which.

Seems he is talking about 'mist' since the optical illusion from viewing object through miniature water droplets, or 'mist', would cause distortion. Look what it does to visible light, the mist makes it where it doesn't know what color to appear as so it just give up and and says refract it. Like BeyondET say, it has a profound effect. Or maybe he meant 'midst', who really knows what he meant but BeyondET himself.
But there are other physical characteristics relating to race in addition to skin pigmentation.

In Christianity, there is a genetic barrier at the "kind" level, and animals reproduce according to their kind according to Scripture. "Kind" might correspond to "family" in the scientific classification terms.
For example, both the dog and wolf have a common ancestor. This is not inconsistent with Christian theology.
In fact, this position makes sense of the Noah's ark narrative. If two animals of each "kind" were aboard the Ark, there was plenty of room.
The different races are the same species, so the fact that we find adaptation or diversification poses no difficulty with regards to Christianity. Skin color is just one of those. No "kind" evolved into a different "kind" though.
It seems like Matt Searies needs to get an education His straw-man argument is hilarious.

well I was trying to avoid posting a picture of a people and talking about their features in hopes that people could just put two and two together but since Zmouths cognitive ability isn't firing on all eight cylinders I have to explain things in picture form like in children books to Zmouth...
So living close and upon a ocean the biggest being the Pacific Ocean people exposed to the Suns reflection off the water will make a persons eyes squint from the glare. so over a long period of time the human body will adapt to this condition, the eyes adapted to be alittle more closed to ease the strain on the eye muscles that produce the squint. Thus adapting to the environment in which they lived and progressed.
