Why does the Bible say there are different races of people...

[Cato]

Look, a few times I hear yanks use the term "race relations" including I believe their president Obama, but there's no validity to citing different races of people and this was not known in the bronze age, or even for most of the 20th century. It was only latter in the 20th century we worked that out. There's only one human race. And anyone that disagrees is unable to list them or to say how many races there are. But yanks aside, no one uses the term now because we know it's based on bronze-age mythology and has been disproved scientifically. So why does the Bible claim otherwise?

You should probably clear your baffles before opining.

Race relations between black and white Australians is one of the nation's great challenges, the country's new prime minister said in an "Australia Day" message, as the word "Sorry" was written in the sky above Bondi Beach.

The referenced speech was given by Rudd in 2008.
