[QUOTE="Karl - Liberal Backslider, post: 17609672, member: 9458"] Carico - [i]once again[/i]. Do you accept that French evolved from Latin? I'm assuming you do, because there isn't a linguist or philologist alive who wouldn't agree that it did. Was there a Latin speaker whose children spoke French? No, Latin speakers' children always spoke Latin, and French speakers' children always speak French, n'est-ce pas? If you were to be able to hear the language spoken by a Latinised Gaul of 350AD, and all the generations after him right up to Pierre in Brittany today, you would not be able to find a point where the language changed. Each generation's language would be virtually identical to that before it. Each would speak effectively the language of their parents. And yet if you compare the Latin of 350AD side by side with the French of today, they are totally different, mutually incomprehensible languages. Example: Latin: Amo caseum French: J'aime le fromage This is an analogy. Latin speakers are analogous to our ape-like ancestors of five million years ago, and French speakers are analogous to modern humans. Do you get the point? At no point does the development of French from Latin require: (a) A [b]Latin speaker[/b] having children with someone speaking a [i]different language[/i] (b) A [b]Latin speaker[/b] having children who speak a [i]different language[/i] Similarly, evolution does not require (a) A [b]species [/b]breeding with a [i]different species [/i](b) A [b]species[/b] giving birth to a [i]different species[/i] Since you seem to struggle with analogies, I've used [b]bold[/b]and [i]italics[/i] to help you identify the analogous elements. Now are you finally going to abandon these ridiculous straw-man based objections? I do not see how you can hold onto them and claim any kind of honesty. [/QUOTE]
