Why do intellectually superior humans have around 7,000 distinct languages?

Lol. You have no idea about the history of writing, do you? Do you have any idea where the Latin alphabet we're currently using came from?

I think we can safely chalk that up as another area you know nothing about but feel entitled to pontificate about.
I suspect that the Latin...anything.... came quite a bit after Babel!?

Why would it be 'several miles' underground? On what basis can you make that claim?
Why would the Himalayan mountains be miles high? There was a lot of uplift, things pushed up and other things subducted. In many cases it is miles deep or high.

In any event the radar you cite is a joke regarding it's ability.

Thats the way to approach this. Dont claim obvious myths are literal reality.

Nor did I claim it was an obvious myth.

Would you be willing to prove it is? If it's that obvious, shouldn't be a problem.

No, why would the tower of Babel supposedly be 'several miles underground' as you claim? A mountain is VERY different to a ruin.

And what's a joke is how you try to pass yourself as some intelligent person but you're really anything but.

The proliferation of languages is a direct result of humans from central Africa migrating out to populate the world starting some 70,000 years ago. Many of these populations became isolated on islands and remote valleys and had little contact with outsiders for generations. In other words, poor communications. Over the last few centuries that has changed dramatically and many languages are now either extinct or have so few fluent speakers that they will be extinct within a generation or two. I expect this trend to continue for centuries.

Why would the rapid continental plate movements that likely happened post flood NOT have affected an area near Iran? I see you paused your use of the word reality a bit, and now resort to calling other posters unintelligent. As if any of this helps your lack of a case.

Except that you are in really no position to do so.
You thought no one could possibly be onto them? Ha.
Let me explain the position of Christians in this whole thing. We are in training to royally rule the whole world forever with the King! False prophets of this or other generations, astrologers, wise men, magicians, so called science fable mongers, etc...are nothing to be admired or feared or believed. Soon, not even to be remembered anymore. Remember that not all men on earth share your reverence for the priests of your religion.

Considering that there is not a single shred of evidence in reality of your claim that rapid plate movements after a supposed global flood, I think my comment stands quite firm.

Ah, using that word reality again I see. Sad. Anyhow, the question is not whether subduction and uplift and mountain building and plate movement happened, only when.

Why is it wrong to use reality, God's own creation? Or are you one of these idolaters who think that the Bible is more powerful than God?

Ah got it.
My comment still stands: you come across as having a VERY big ego. And that's not a positive trait.
From misuse of the word reality, to insulting other poster's intelligence, to slanderous ego claims.

Not so great a case yet.

To use the word reality as if it was not only somehow associated with your belief system, but owned by it, is a violation of language and meaning.

As for the bible, Jesus confirmed it was from God absolutely. No other opinions however misinformed are needed on the issue.

How am I misusing the word 'reality'? And it's not slander. Slander is spoken. Not a clue what you could refer to what you think I'm doing. Mischaracterization, maybe? Although I highly doubt I'm alone in my views on you.

And I'm doing that... how?

Except that there are many things that we find in God's actual creation that are not mentioned at all in the Bible. So... actually, let's kind of stop here since this is really just going to lead us running around in circles.
