Evolution requires that some races are more suited to specific environments than others. It says nothing about absolute superiority.

You contrasted Darwin's view with a religious viewpoint in which no one race is inherently superior to another. I'm saying that in Darwin's viewpoint a race is not inherently superior to another, but it may have variations which render it more adapted to specific environments.

Right, and the religious viewpoint would say no one is superior, regardless of specific environments and whether some group is more adapted or not, since all have the image of God in them.
