Christians have the Bible, which claims to be the Word of God. We can also take what the Bible says and see if the evidence of the present does fit. If we take the Book of Genesis, which claims to be the account of our origins and history, we can see what it says concerning how the world was created and what subsequently happened. We can decide what we would expect to find if the Bible is true (this is our scientific model relating to creation). Then we can look at the world to see if the evidence is there (that is, investigate the present all the evidence we have to see if it fits with our model).
For example, we are told that God created living things in distinct kinds, or groups. We can postulate, therefore, that animals and plants should be found in kinds the one kind cannot change into the other. In fact, this is exactly what we do find (in living as well as fossil organisms).
Genesis tells us that because of wickedness God judged the world with a worldwide flood. If this is true, what sort of evidence would we find? We could expect that we would find billions of dead things (fossils) buried in rock layers, laid down by water and catastrophic processes over most of the earth. This is exactly what we observe.
In Genesis 11 we read of events that occurred at the Tower of Babel. Again, we can ask the question: If this event really happened, what evidence would we expect to find? Does the evidence from the cultures throughout the world fit with this?
Again, the answer is overwhelmingly "Yes." All humans can interbreed and produce fertile offspring we are all the same kind. All humans have the same color (genetics tells us its differing shades of the one color). If all humans had the same ancestor, Noah (and ultimately, then all cultures have developed since Noahs flood and the division at the Tower of Babel.
Evolutionists talk about the different races of people in the world today. The term "races" can be used in various ways depending upon the definition you accept. Sadly, evolutionists have used the term in the sense that some groups of humans have not evolved as far as others. When they use the word "races" they are really talking about different levels of human beings dependent upon the point to which they have evolved. Due to evolutionary teaching through the educational system and the media, many in the general public tend to think of the term "races" as applied to the human race in an evolutionary sense. Because of this situation, it is probably better for Christians to talk about one race in regard to humans, not different races. "God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation" (Acts 17:26).
