CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The story of the Tower of Babel is a nice myth to explain the origin of languages (plural) and gets it completely wrong which you missed out! The many myths around the world about the origin of language are different.
We have credible, non-mythological science to explain the origin of language.

Please highlight in red what was wrong about my post.
I'm familiar with the fact that you said "languages" (plural); but I said "language" (singular).
How did that make it wrong?

I did not say you were wrong - your reply was
- Irrelevant to what I posted about the myth of languages (plural).
- Ignored that the myth of languages was wrong.
- May derail into another wrong myth about the origin of languages when we have credible, non-mythological science to explain the origin of language.

Did you even read that? There is little to no real evidence as to the origination of languages. The biblical story is as good an explanation as anything proposed by their studies. The off hand rejection of scripture as myth is not based upon a real study but on the typical bias of scripture is not real therefore I will believe anything else but the bible.

What is your explanation for how separate languages have arisen long after the tower of Babel?

Are you asking me?
If so, they arose however scientists say they arose.
As long they don't contradict the Scriptures, I'm good with it.

I read it, rjs33 but it may be that you did not. The origin of language is a list of credible, scientific theories. Scientists are honest in that they acknowledge that direct evidence for the origin is lacking which makes it a very hard subject to study.
The many myths around the world from many religions and cultures about the origin of language are different. They are not credible, scientific theories. They are often written down, self-contradictory oral myths with no evidence to support them and evidence against them.

You should know that the genealogy in Genesis 10 is considered authoritative in ethnology.
Check the reality.

No he did not amigo. Reality is backed up by physical evidenceHe just did, amigo.
.Mizraim "is the Israeli Hebrew and Aramaic name for the land of Egypt" It would not be strange for Ham to name his sons after lands that had existed for maybe 1000's of years before his birth.

The OP , as it attests, is in itself a perverted reality.
