How come we have any genetic diversity at all if we are all the relatively recent decendents of Noah?

Hmm, I don't know. It seems that scientists have proven that the human genome has less than 1% of diference from race to race. Seems plausible to me. I would think that the evolutionist theory of genetic mutation would easily account for such a small amout of diversity. That is, considering you think we all evolved from ectoplasmic goo over the course of a few million years.

Considering that humans and chimps are 98% similar, that is a remarkable amount of diversity.
