Anytime.
Biblically, three races, Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, Japheth. John MacArthur’s argument from his 2001 sermon on Genesis 9:To give you an illustration of that, the scientists have estimated that in theory if just two human parents – just two -could produce more children than there are atoms in the universe, no two would be exactly alike.
You say, “How can that be?”
Because of the staggering variability in genetics. So as people mated, repeatedly variations began to occur - because there is almost an infinite number of variables possible with just two people - and eventually produced the various shades of skin and features. All this coming out of the original gene pool of Adam and Eve and the second gene pool of the family of Noah. You can add to that defective genes causing mutations downward, never upward. But there really, in the end, is only one race: man. I want to emphasize that - just one race: man.
I told you, when I was going through Genesis 3, the difference in genetics between any two people in the world – just pick two; any two no matter how diverse they are, any two – the difference in genetics between any two people in the world, even if they’re from the same group, is .2 – 0.2, that’s the difference.
