Adam was made from dirt there is different colors and types of dirt right. since the Bible doenst mention any specifics, i believe he was made from all the types of dirt and that's how we get the different races. got a better explanation?

A better explanation? I can't imagine having a worse one!
What's so annoying is that his asking this question shows that he has already dismissed evolutionary theory out of hand -- yet he is actually trying to tack his own (ridiculous) variation of it onto biblical mythology, showing how evolution is such an essential concept to explain certain things. Of course, he'll never recognize nor admit it.

Oh, c'mon, you don't really think modern biology would interest thaprofessa3, do you?
Actually, the Creation Scientists have determined that the dirt was 40% clay of the Urrbrae type, composed mostly of illite and kaolinite, with a mean particle diameter of 1050 nm; mixed with 60% Claremont, composed of smectite-dominated materials with a mean diameter of 104 nm. God used the Urrbrae to form the ectodermal organs (the skin, epithelium and nervous system) while the Claremont was used for the mesodermal organs (most of the rest of the body). A mixture was used for the endodermal material (the digestive and respiratory systems and endocrine glands).
Just kidding ...
Ohhhh! Now I get it - sort of like sand art, where layers of different colored sand are contained in a clear bottle, which can be quite pretty. Of course, if you shake up the bottle sufficiently, you end up with just a bottle of gray sand, which, I suspose in synonymous with race mixing in the fundie-racist mind.
got a better explanation?
Several, in fact. Your understanding of genetics is so poor that the Great Green Arkleseizure theory is a better explanation.
Want a list?
1)Evolution
2)People can be of any skin color, but because of a huge coincidence people have the same skin color than their parents, and never turn blue or violet
3)There are no people of different races, color perception disrupts when you look at some people because of an anomaly in photoelectric phenomenons in dermic cells
4)People are all naturally white, but when you are not looking they paint themselves
5)At the start, there were just apples. apples then spontaneously turned into humans, the greenest apples become white and the reddest black people.
6)Overtattooing
7)when you are born, the racial fairy turns you into one of the different races.
8)An alien conspiracy to get humans to fight with each other.
9)A complex formula that includes your last name, your ancestors' drinking tendencies and your mother's favourite pet.
10)Robots in disguise
note:90% of all explanations posted here were pulled out of my ass right now, and are all still better than yours.
But, according to the Bible, only Adam was created from dirt. The rest of us sprang up either from his rib or from his loins. So either this different-colored dirt theory is completely retarded, or the OP here is saying there were lots of different Adams.
Too bad the schools are so lax in teaching genetics. If we assume a progenitor (Adam and Eve) they would have been extremely dark. Their DNA, combined and recombined, leading to many recessive combinations and other variations, would account for the variety of races. The migration of certain bloodlines after the flood (Ham went one way, Shem another, etc.) would be why certain bloodlines with different racial characteristics ended up procreating together and making the large groups we call races. It's not really rocket science; you'd think bible believers could at least learn enough science to understand something like that.
Is that stoof between your ears, sediment, humus, sand,or what?
We were all African Homo Erectus, then spread throughout the world and took on different skin colors to adapt to our new environment?
Then like morons, claimed one of us was better than the other... pfft.
@ g-21-lto
What is the difference between someone made from clay and someone made from sand?
Sure, there are the descendents; Cassius and Henry Clay, and a bloke in Scotland named Sandy...
Well, it's no worse than his, and I know I'm kidding.

It amazes me that all these fundies who go around saying that it's stupid to ever think we came from monkeys proudly proclaim we came from dirt.<<
In fairness, we _do_ come from dirt (plus some water and atmospheric carbon dioxide). Of course, we come from dirt via abiogenesis and about four billion years of evolution.
"Adam was made from dirt there is different colors and types of dirt right. since the Bible doenst mention any specifics, i believe he was made from all the types of dirt and that's how we get the different races. got a better explanation?"
If that were so, then we humans would be silicon-based lifeforms. However, like all other forms of life on Earth, we're Carbon -based lifeforms.
Secondly, why did God require 'dirt' to form Adam? Why couldn't he have just poofed him into existence, as he did the universe*?
So much for your so-called 'God's omnipotence.
*- Why did it take him six days - of whatever length; even if they were 24 hour duration. Why not six hours, or six minutes, or six seconds? Or six nanoseconds or even less? Again, so much for God's 'omnipotence', eh, if even he has limits to his 'power'?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
