or  “hard”  sciences  such  as  biology?    What  does

            ALMIGHTY  GOD  say  about  race?    We  will  carefully
            examine the BIBLICAL definition of race in Chapter 2. For
            now, let us delve into the biological definition.



                      – Biological Definition of Race


            -The  Biological  definition  of  race  is  “a  geographically
            isolated  breeding  population  that  shares  certain
            characteristics  in  higher  frequencies  than  other

            populations  of  that  species,  but  has  not  become
            reproductively  isolated  from  other  populations  of  the

            same species. A population is a group of organisms that
            inhabit the same region and interbreed. Human groups

            compose a number of breeding units that, in the past,
            remained  geographically  and  perhaps  temporally

            isolated;  yet  could  interbreed  and  produce  viable
            offspring  within  the  species  Homo  sapiens.  The  point

            here is that a biological race has the ability to produce
            viable  offspring  regardless  of  skin  color,  height,  hair

            type,  ethnicity,  geographical  region,  or  any  other
            defining features.


            More  recently,  molecular  science  techniques  have
            advanced  to  developed  methods  to  examine  genetic

            differences between individuals and populations. Using
            deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and other genetic indicators
