[_ Old Earth _] Rapid evolution of human races after the Great Flood

[Deep Thought]

As a cap to this discussion, even if all the races did not come from Noah, the races we see today are all in fact 100% human in every respect, they simply adapted to their environment not evolved... adapted. i can get used to cold whether when i go away for training, to the point of running around in my boxers at -40 celcius, (true story :D) did i just evolve ?

I know you don't like the term evolve, so let's use adaptation for now.

Please explain how the process of adaptation works (particularly from the genetic level).

John, do you have an answer for this question?

Noah could not have 'had a full complement of genes that included all that today's peoples have.' He is strictedly limited in the length of genome and chromosomes he could have, yet the variety in the genes we see in people today stretches beyond this. A single genetic locus can have dozens of different alleles, indicating more genetic mutation than could be produced in a mere 4000 years.
