How did Noah's son's produce different races of people, When its said in the Ark was Noah and his wife and sons so how did they all produce different race of people
It is evident that the DNA of Adam and Eve possessed all the genetic potential for all these variations in genetics to transmit to offspring. Therefore, Noah, his wife, sons, ad daughter in laws also possessed the genetic potential for diverse genetic expression.
That said, God was in control of the genetic expression of the genes in all of the descendants of Noah. When God scattered people at Babel and they migrated outward to inhabit all parts of the world, God caused the genetic expressions of people groups to be adapted to their environment. those with pale skin inhabited the northern hemisphere from the Eurasian steppe to Europe. Those with darker skin (due to having higher melanin in their skin) inhabited the Far East and those even darker skinned inhabited sub equatorial Africa, Australia, etc.
It was God who determined the gene expressions that formed the "races" but all are similarly human and related through the sons of Noah. When people migrated to certain areas where they were more isolated from other tribes of people, they intermarried and so the gene expressions became more similar among them by God's design. For example, the red haired gene among the Celtic people of Ireland and Scotland. The blond, blue eyed people of Scandinavia, the darker skinned people of India, the distinctive features of the different tribes of North and South American native people, the very dark skinned people of Africa, some of whom were quite short and others quite tall depending on tribe. The Semitic tribes of the Middle East including the Hebrews, and the Polynesian peoples who settled the multitude of islands in the Pacific Ocean.
So we can attribute genetic expression that shows us that people are of a certain "race" to God's wise design as people migrated away from Babel in Mesopotamia after the flood. Every person of every race have the same number of chromosomes that make up the DNA that determines a multitude of genes which consistently determine, cont
determine what they are designed to develop in the human body, such as eye, hair, and skin color, body shape, the development of body systems during fetal growth, and a myriad of other things in every body that are determined by the DNA in chromosomes.
Every human has these same genes but the way they are specifically and individually expressed is determined by God according to the way He designed hereditary traits to be transmitted to offspring.
I would like to bring a little more clarity to my last post so I would call this Part 2.
In Genesis 1:28 it reads, "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth...,
Now we know God put the earth upon its axis created the sun and the moon precisely the way he intended it.
So in Genesis 1:28 when he said fill the earth the results he would get out of it was also in the making in day 1.

What we know now by science is "some" results in the make up of man.
And, what little we gather from science, and limited scripture all we truly know is how God scattered man and the results afterwards. .
When man was scattered and evolved into what he is today was a work performed on that 6th day.
Everything else is a result of that day in terms of creation.
And the God rested!
Nothing takes God by surprise and nothing exists by way of plan B.
God's creation shows his Glory because it's unexplained.
We can see and perhaps somewhat understand the results.
However, the how is done by God's omnipotence.
God can do anything he wants and is not subject to physical limitations.
The Bible describes God as omnipotent, term for this is omnipotence.
Psalm 115:3: God does whatever he is pleased to do
Isaiah 55:11: God's word is never void of power, so when he speaks, everything in creation obeys him
Genesis 18:14: Nothing is too hard for him.
God spoke and created everything out of nothing!
He shouldn't have a problem doing anything else after Genesis 1:1
God bless.
