Yes if you want to make such claims. Unless of course you want to live life as if it is a make believe game.
I'll let the bus driver know he's living life as a make believe game, until he learns "linguistics and processes of language change over time."

Same for the lady at the check-out counter, the waitress at Olive Garden, the taxi cab driver, our local sanitation engineer, and the guy that runs the filling station on the corner.

You know?

All those people that make your life easier, so you can insult them?

I won't really do that.

But I will hope you get the point.

Miracles still happen.

Not familiar at all with it.

Should I be?

If you're going to posit the extinction of a specific form of English, far removed from its historical context and everything that made it what it was, and the subsequent re-evolution of that same exact form of English well over 3000 years later, then yes.

Excuse me while I set the record straight:

God did it.

The details can take a hike.

There's a goofy site that has me "apparently believing" the following; and I want to set the record straight here:

1. At one point everyone in the world spoke English.

This is correct.

Not even the bible indicates this, so I have no idea where you get such a ridiculous idea.. but it is funny.

2. That the mention of unicorns, dragons and behemoths in the Bible poses a problem for evolution.
It poses a problem for evolutionists.

What are "evolutionists"? If you mean people who aren't creationists, then, no it doesn't. Normal people don't believe in fairytale creatures.

3. Cratering was the result of a battle between angels and demons.
This is correct.

And thunder is just the sound of God bowling.

4. Unicorns were aboard Noah's ark and gave birth to different species of animals.
This is correct; but they gave birth after they left the Ark.

Got any unicorn fossils or remains?

5. Leprechauns exist as a manifestation of demons.
This is correct.

I've seen those movies too.

6. The Earth was the first planet in existence.
This is correct.

Wrong, but whatever.

7. Peer reviewed articles on evolution should be disregarded because they weren't reviewed by Jesus.
I don't know where this comes from.

Probably mirroring your disregard of science only when it suits you. It doesn't seem to be in need of a hike when you want to use the internet, drive a car, or enjoy sanitary cuisine. Interesting, that.

8. Human beings are not Homo sapiens.
This is somewhat correct. I claim I refuse to accept that I am a Homo sapiens. However I acknowledge that Homo sapiens is just a term on paper, and I respect the right of others to label themselves as such.

At least you seem less ignorant about the term than previously. Yes, homo sapiens is the taxonomic nomenclature for humans.

9. Nero persecuted Christians for reversing the Earth's poles.
That was a joke; as was my Noah's Ark being a submarine thread.

What about Noah being from New Jersey?

10. Pangaea was actually Eden.
This is correct.

So, what where the few supercontinents that preceded Pangea?

11. The three main rock types are "indigenous, megamorphic, and sentimental."
That was a joke.

I wonder if you know why it's difficult to tell when you are joking.

12. Noah lived in present-day New Jersey.
That is correct.

Ah, there it is. Noah also wears lots of bling and hair gel, has a spray-on tan, and wears a track suit.

13. That the dictionary is wrong in defining Christianity as a religion.
I may have said that at one time, but I've since softened up on that. I claim that, just as weight occurs when gravity is resisted, religion occurs when Truth is resisted.

It's a good thing that the definition of words don't depend on your feelings or we'd never communicate with the non-English speaking world.

14. Religious wars never occurred.
I don't remember saying that.

Good, because that would be wrong too.

15. "Evolution teaches a monkey gave birth to the first human."
This is correct.

Which is incorrect, and shows you don't understand evolution. If you don't want to anything anything about the theory ("take a hike"), then you shouldn't make claims about what the theory explains.

16. Atheism is a polytheistic religion.
This is correct.

Oh, do tell. Haha. I know you know why that is wrong.

17. Strong's Concordance is "a tool of Satan."
This is correct.

So is Elvis' pelvis, from what I understand.

18. People should be proud of their own ignorance.
This is correct.

Ignorance that can't be reconciled is called stupidity.

19. Science is unreliable because of new discoveries.
This is correct.

He says, thanks to the internet, an understanding of electricity, and still living, thanks to modern medicine.

20. Anything that contradicts the Bible is wrong by default, including real life.
This is correct.

Ignorance that can't be reconciled is- ...oh, forget it.

Irrelevant. Your claim that Adam and Eve spoke English, God spoke English to Moses etc. Since you know nothing of linguistics then suffice it to say that your claims are nothing more than a figment of the imagination. If English is God's chosen language then why is it not mentioned in the Bible? Also English did not exist as a language 3,000 years ago. English is basically a first cousin to German. IT is also a language comprised of Latin, Greek, French, words amongst others.

My claim is that English was spoken, until God removed it at the tower of Babel.

So no, God didn't speak English to Moses etc.
Since you know nothing of linguistics then suffice it to say that your claims are nothing more than a figment of the imagination.
And what if I was proficient in linguistics and still held to my belief? then what?
If English is God's chosen language then why is it not mentioned in the Bible?
Why isn't God's favorite flavor of ice cream mentioned in the Bible?
Also English did not exist as a language 3,000 years ago.
No kidding?

Probably because it was removed around 2400 BC.
English is basically a first cousin to German. IT is also a language comprised of Latin, Greek, French, words amongst others.
If you say so.

I'll take your word for it.

I don't.

I claim the KJB is the only Bible version.

Don't mess with me, you know that other people view those versions as valid, even if you don't. But you can't possibly expect people to take your claim seriously if you have no evidence or knowledge to back it up.

I humor myself by imagining every person and every thing he tells to do that literally taking a hike. The wilderness becomes crowded.

All of reality would be taking a hike.

Reality can take a hike.

I'm talking about the earth on Day One of the creation week, coming into existence outside of the realm of science, by a process called creatio ex nihilo.

Was King James there? Did all the versions that preceded it merely predict the KJV or were they rip-offs sent back in time?
The KJB is the only Bible for our time.

The other six had their targets as well.
