According to science, Homo Sapiens left Africa about 100,000 years ago. And, Europeans and Asians are separated only about 60,000 years ago.
Is 100,000 years really long enough for people to evolve so differently to get the result of Africans and whites? Is 60,000 years really long for people to be so different as the whites and Asians? Do you think other "humans" were inter-mixed with them to create these differences?

Different human races are partially the result of hybridization with other ancient human species like Neanderthals. And there's no set time frame for evolution. Some organisms exist for millions of years without changing at all, but others can change dramatically in a few thousand years. Look at the domesticated dog and all the variety of breeds that exist. Breeding of animals is essentially controlled evolution and human beings are a self domesticated species.
The differences between the races are really pretty small when you consider what evolution can lead to. I'd say that 100,000 years is probably enough time to create different skin tones and certain common features.
And the differences are very small. An African and an Asian can breed with no additional complications as a result of the differing races.
By coincidence, this past week I've been updating myself on this general topic since my college years back in the 1970s. Wikipedia actually has several good articles on this, particularly if you look at the topics under the "Pleistocene Epoch" and "Human Evolution". And yes, I know that Wikipedia is not the ultimate source for such information, but there information on this general topic is well summarized at a level that the average person can comprehend, and they are rather balanced regarding alternative viewpoints on the questions regarding the progression from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens.
In regard to the OP, think about the changes in conures and tropical fish due to collectors over just the past century. We have new varieties and colorings of conures, and guppies have been drastically weakened through inbreeding.
There are also 2 variations in the way scientists believe that evolution works. Some believe it is all slow and gradual, while others believe there are evolutionary bursts when change takes place comparatively quickly.

Do you believe the 100,000 and the 60,000 numbers? if yes, then of course that is enough time for their to be differences between Whites, Asians, and Africans. Different skin color, bone structure, and muscular skeletal development have occured (obvisouly) between those three. What other alternate theory would you have that explains those differences?
I mean isn't this a stupid question. It happened?! So of course its possible. Especially sincef these deference are insignificant.
and according to non-evolution bible people they think its more like 5k years ago starting with 2 people
