The chart is not worthless as it is based on evidence and since this is a science forum please supply the evidence Jacobean English was the universally spoken language in early Genesis.
What about the Sumerian language, as Strathos suggested?

Re. language: Growing up, my next door neighbors were Jewish. The younger son, a few years older than me, was my best friend. His grandmother lived with them. She was from the old country, kinda cranky, complained a lot, and spoke Yiddish along with English. I had no idea what she was saying, but it sounded so cool. "Oy gevalt! Such a momsa!" And I did learn a bit.

Here's a thought: Since the Jews are God's chosen people, maybe Yiddish is actually God's chosen language. That's what they speak in heaven. And maybe it's the original language of the OT. All the translations are approximations of the Yiddish original. So nu?

And mazel tov to everyone. :oldthumbsup:

So why did you pose the question in the first place?
Because Strathos mentioned it, and I actually like his answer.

I was leaning toward Jacobean English.

Strathos suggested Sumerian.

I'm asking you what you think of Strathos' suggestion.

Seems like a futile attempt at diversion as you don't have a shred of evidence the original language was Jacobean English.
I've justified my theory before here, stating why I think it is Jacobean English.

Another blatant attempt at obfuscation.
Now answer the question what physical evidence supports your theory.

None ... zero ... zip.

Here are my standards again:

1. Bible says x, Science says x = go with x = dual agreement
2. Bible says x, Science says y = go with x = science can take a hike
3. Bible says x, Science says ø = go with x = Biblical support
4. Bible says ø, Science says x = go with x = Scientific support
5. Bible says ø, Science says ø = free to speculate on your own

So Joe Bloggs speculates Chinese was the original language of the Bible which according to your definition 5 is just as valid.

Your definition 2 opens up a can of worms.
Slavery is condoned in the Bible but science through anthropology claims human social structures have evolved that slavery is no longer morally acceptable.
Should anthropology take a hike and slavery be reintroduced because the Bible says it's OK?

Sjastro, do you want to answer my question or not?

Do you agree that Sumerian is a good answer as to what they spoke before the tower of Babel?

Genesis 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

Have I not made it perfectly obvious I do not believe in a universal language as described in the Bible whether it be Sumerian, Jacobean English or Chinese.

Now since you are a literalist address the issue of slavery.

A woefully inadequate response.
Does this saying remind you of anyone.
The Bible says it, that settles it.
This was the very argument used to support slavery.

Except Yiddish is a Germanic language (with a lot of Hebrew loan terms) and only arises after large numbers of Jews relocated to Germany.

Interesting that God split the Red Sea to let those in bondage to the Egyptians escape.

I wonder what prompted Him to act?

Hint:

Exodus 3:7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

So are you done with you classification-phobia and we now need to explain how Yahweh only cares about the enslavement of Israelites and not now many foreigners they keep in perpetual bondage?
