In the Bible, Genesis chapters 7-10 describe a great flood that destroyed all human life on earth, except for Noah and his family. Bible scholars claim this event occurred about 4500 years ago. This raises two questions I have been unable to answer:
1) If all human life on earth descended in the past 4500 years from one family, then why are there so many different types of humans on our planet; e.g., Caucasians (with many variations), Africans (with many variations), Asians (with many variations), Pacific Aboriginees (with many variations), Native Americans (with many variations), etc.?
2) If all human life on earth descended in the past 4500 years from one God-fearing family, then why are there so many different ancient religions on our planet that are not based on the god of the Old Testament, including many that are polytheistic?
I’m just curious how a continent of Asians with straight black hair, a continent of Africans with tightly curled black hair, a continent of Europeans with blond hair, two continents of Native Americans, and a wide range of Pacific island tribes with semi-curly black hair, all could have descended in 4500 years — from one Middle-Eastern family living near Mount Ararat, especially if evolution is “just a theory,” and especially given that each group has its own indigenous religion(s).
