"Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
Without any form of evolution, it would be impossible for the gene pool contained in two (original) human beings to populate the diversity of peoples we see in the world today.
We could not (nor could any other species) develop multiple hair colours, eye colours, skin colours, et cetera, or any other multitude of variations on the same gene, without the interference of evolutionary forces.
Therefore, if you disregard the theory of evolution, you must also disregard the validity of the story of the Garden of Eden as we know it (comprising most of Chapters 1 through 3 in the Book of Genesis).
The same principle can be extended to the pairs of animals supposedly housed in Noah's Ark, thus invalidating Genesis 6 through 9 as well.
---------------------------------------------------------
Your logical options as a Christian are as follows:
1) Concede that microevolution is fact.
2) Invent a new story of Genesis in which a vast number of humans are initially created, a group large enough to carry the gene pool we see in humans today (and then some, to account for dying genes). Then prove it to be true.
3) Contend that God has been meddling in human genetics all along. Then prove it to be true.
