God invented language

[GoodNewsJim]

Not only did God give Adam language in the garden, but he made up the varieties of languages around the world at the Tower of Babylon.

Sure languages change, and merge, but towards the beginning they were made by God.

I wonder if some people take the same idea towards evolution. God made everything in the first six days, then after the fall and death entering the world, stuff began to at the very least show signs of natural selection.

Got any evidence to support this claim? Didn't think so.........

In my opinion, natural selection started after the Fall, when nature was given the burden of sustaining itself.

In the beginning, God said "Let there be the Chomsky Hierarchy."; And it was good.

I thought it was the tower of Babel.

And only children believe stories like that, as they get older they learn the truth.

This just shows the power of parents, or the depths to which some people can sink.

I was reminded of Neanderthals. In any case, proof please, sir of your claims. I don't believe Adam and Eve existed so I'm having trouble believing your claims.

Actually God applied for a patent but was refused on the grounds that language existed before 4000 yrs BC.

Although everyone knows that God, Jesus, the Romans, the OT & NT, all were using English as the standard language.
In Fact God originally created America and the devil created the other continents.

Now that we have finally given you heathens and unbelievers the truth; you can go and fly a kite!

 

[TheOutsider]

Actually, the history of language is much more interesting than that. There are many similarities between language and evolution but not like you described. Language has gone through pressures similar to genetic drift, gene flow and geographic separation.

While you believe in the story of the Tower of Babel (not Babylon), here's one from Genesis 10.5:

(From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.)

Of course this occurs before the ToB.

Now I'm sure you'll claim that all this is not told in chronological order, but why the two stories?

Just a thought.

But if the tower of babel incident happened before the flood, where did the languages come back from?

Also, who was the first French speaker?

Like asking "which organism was the first human/first ape/first land animal" this doesn't make sense. There are clear cut language distinctions now, for the most part, but over time they change (for the most part) continuously.

 

[Zither]

As a man who has himself invented a language, I can quite clearly state that eskhet'al. Or, more simply put, you fail.

But if languages were created spontaneously as the OP claims then there should be have been a French speaker.

The man does talk about languages merging and borrowing elements from one another. Assuming his lunatic idea is true, and it isn't, than French as a language has in his mind been left room to develop over time from other languages. It doesn't need to have been one of the ones he said was created at his misnamed nonexistent tower.

But if you're already willing to concede evolution exists, what's the need to hang on to the six-day nonsense?

That would be afrer God abandoned nature, right?

 

[AV1611VET]

Oh, God didn't abandon nature --- not by a long shot.

 

[Nathan Poe]

Oh, God didn't abandon nature --- not by a long shot.

Well then, nature had no need to "sustain" itself -- not by any meaningful definition of the word.

Because evolution doesn't explain the spark of life, and it only postulates how species diverge into new species.

And most importantly: I know God exists and the Bible is true.

True -- and the six-day fable of Genesis attempts to explain where those species came form. Why do we need two stories when only one has evidence backing it?

And most importantly: I know God exists and the Bible is true.

I know that there's a purple dragon living in a vacant lot outside Akron, OH.
