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?
A race is a regional variation of a species. Are you saying that humans have no regional variations?
Biologically, race doesn't mean species. It doesn't mean subspecies (except that a geographic race that is sufficiently different taxonomically may be considered a subspecies). It means identifiable regional variations of the same species.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
