Why Are We So Different?

Answers with Ken Ham

People around the world look different from one another. Where did these differences come from? Well, the Bible gives us the answer!

Both Scripture and observational science make it clear there’s only one race—the human race. We’re all descended from Adam and Eve. After the global flood of Noah’s day, the Bible tells us that Noah’s descendants were divided by language at the Tower of Babel. People spread around the world, isolating themselves from each other. Soon certain characteristics, for example, skin shade or eye shape, became dominant in different people groups.

You see, it’s Genesis explains our differences!
