The bible was written by men to control tribes. At the time, there wasn't any issue with other races because the Bedouins & tribes at the time were all the same people. the main focus of the bible is to control behavior, and ensure the people breed within their own tribes. This was essential for survival.
Each culture has some story of how people came to be. The Japanese Kojiki has some fun stories, the Native American Indians have some really cool stories too, each tribe had a different one. the Apache, the Cherokee, The Hopi, the Navajo, etc..Why anyone would believe the biblical story of creation, over any of the others is a complete mystery to me. Furthermore, why anyone can somehow shoehorn logic into any of the stories and believe them is astounding, especially at a point in time when we have massive archeological evidence that completely shreds them.
