If God changed all of Men's languages after the tower of Babylon-is this where

[YippyYahQQ]

he changed their race as well? I just can not for all of God's Brilliance (including his glorious light) figure out why men and women of the same race have the same form of children. The fact that there are numerous races would support the theory of evolution, as different me evolved into different body, skin, intellect & language types. Now that the world has become more communicably related in terms of man knowing his fellow man; what do religions teach beyond the separation of man from God at The Tower of Babylon. Still and yet Noah had a family that must be characterized by DNA. Scientifically; we humans are the most advanced of all "Animal" life on this planet, that is and I mean recognizable animal life. We even share traits with other animals like the mammals (hair & backbone) but we could not mate with them (no not even scientifically) and in every case we find that the black race is the predominate gene supplier.. Why does this part of the Bible seem so out of Character? The Evolution Solution? Dominance?

LOL. God is not the author of confusion. 1 Cor. 14:33 Of course at the Tower of Babel we know that god confused the tongues of the people. Certainly, there could not have been a better way to both CREATE and AUTHOR confusion than to confuse the tongues of people instantly so they could no longer understand each other. It must have been chaos, and all from a loving, just, kind, benevolent god. If it seems out of character, it's beacuse it is a fairy tale, written by a bunch of stupid, superstitious people.

at the Tower of Babel, I Believe GOD changed the Languages and the DNA.

Nobody else has to believe this.
Dosen't matter to me.

"... out of character ?"
90% of the Bible is out of character . The story of "God" killing every living thing except a hand ful of people and animals . And then gods mad again at the guy who built the Ark who saved them ? And he drives his children out of the area with different languages and diffferent genes .How silly !
If you go to this area of the world today , you will find Muslim Preachers all over the place telling stories like this one that has been handed down and embellished :

"The extent of Allah's Throne and the shape of its carrying Angels!

In order to have an idea of the colossal extent of Allah's Throne, it was raised on eighteen thousand pillars. The distance between one pillar of this throne to the next is a journey of seven hundred years. Then Allah buried those pillars under the seven layers of heaven. To carry His Throne, Allah created four gigantic angels. These four angels have four distinct shapes. The first one looks like a human being, the second one is in the shape of a tiger, the third angel takes the shape of a vulture and the fourth one is in the shape of a cow. The sizes of these four angels are beyond one's imagination. Their legs are so long that they reached the bottom of the seven heavens. In one step these angels can travel a distance of seven thousand years!"

People who do not have a significant worldly education or advanced civilization love to hear and pass on these entertaining stories . Even in today's left behind cultures in places like Afganistan . These people believe these Old Wives Tales because they were passed down to them or their preachers . This is what makes a lack of reality based education dangerous . Because these people can be easily manipulated .

It is sort of like Americans watching and discussing fictional TV series as though they were real life . Sort of like soap operas .

People thousands of years ago did the same through transcipts of verbal story tellings compiled in the OT .
Now a days the Jews of the area are usually the decendents of people who did get a more worldly view of life because they resettled from places like the USA and France and England .And they have built Israel in to a modern civilazation . But the Muslim people have mostly been stuck in left behind societies such as in Palestine , Afganistan , Pakistan , etc. So they continue relying of folklore and the Quranic interpetations by "Holy Men" .

As Jose said, the bible doesn't say anything about god mixing up the races - just the languages.

It's a little tough to look at mixed children and not believe in evolution. You really have to focus and tell yourself 'there's no place like church. There's no place like church...'

First of all, it was the tower of Babel...

It never addressed race. Skin color/pigmentation probably evolved due to climate, etc.
