Different Races from Adam and Eve

Q: If Adam and Eve were white, how do we have the different races?

A: First, we must realize that Adam and Eve were not "white" like we imagine. Some believe they may have first been put in Africa, but from the Genesis account describing the rivers around the Garden (see Gen. 2:10-14), the were around an area that is current day Iraq.
Anyways, as the first man and woman, just as with us today, they had dominant and recessive genes and thus there could be different combinations of eyes, skin color, pigmentation, etc. Thus, there could be different "races." So we see that science can work hand and hand with Theology.
