Language

The Bible talks of the tower of bable(sp?) and that is the story way of explaining it the difference of languages. But in RL the reason for the difference in language has come from 1000's of years of Human evolution not only in our bodies but also in the mind. Also Humans originating from the modern day Middle East it is believed that over many years we as a species moved to the different parts of the world and as we moved farther away from the point of origin we adapted the root language to new forms of language. That had some common sounds or things in common with this root language. That's it in a nutshell. I don't see why people seem to think that God couldn't be smart enough to create Evolution and the "Big Bang". I mean really if God is really smart it would be easier for him/her to watch and not have to micromanage everything on the planet and well we have already proven evolution. Hence the survivability in Bactria in the form of super bugs. They have done this through changes in there structure at both the DNA and RNA levels

hai dear.. i dun no about where language came from..but i knew tamil, english, malay and mandrin languages...i think there many language because the world is bigger and the oldest days, people cant travel so far..so they didn't communicate with other..the people in some area, communicate with their own language that they create...because no communication with out of the world...they just use that language that they know..like this was increase many language in this world..after the world modernize then only people realize of many language..

I don't really understand in what way different languages could be considered proof of any particular religion. it doesn't make any sense. language evolved. simple.

Hi 6precious,I don't think that languages have anything to do with believing in God. Languages change over time, we would not be able to read or speak the English of 8 or 9 hundred years ago. Whether a person believes in God or not, he/she should know how things work in the world. We discover what's already here. Electricity was here before we found a way to use it. The telephone could have been invented a thousand years earlier if someone had been smart enough. The same is true for the computer etc. It is the same with languages. Blessings.

hi 6precious102, how are you? beein honest, i believe in God, and i know the biblic story about the languages, but i have never stopped and though from a rational explanation about this. Its to difficult to explain. good discussion and good point! have a nice day!

Languages develop over time, which is why speaking English doesn't mean you'll understand Old English. Once people started migrating, different groups of people developed languages differently. We recreate a similar process in a kindergarten game called "telephone"

We all speak different languages because we scattered to different parts of the Earth and language evolved as people evolved in different ways.

You see that in Europe more than in America and Canada. Holland for example is a very small country. In Rotterdam they speak slightly different than in Den Haag. The same with Amsterdam, they also have there own tong fall. When you go outside of the cities, into the towns, you would not be able to understand these dutch people. They have a dialect , not even the dutch understand each other. What I am trying to get at here, is that languages are never totally the same. Even in the same country. As time goes by the language use changes too. Threw the years this has happened as well. Then later on there were more and more different dialects. They became new languages. It is that simple. In the Caribbean, there are three islands not to far apart. There is a bird that lives on all of these islands. But on each island there is a different tree, with different fruits. The same bird, on each island they have a different beak. On one island it is rounded, on the other it is small,and on the other it is long. Same bird, different beaks. Sorry I don't remember the names. But, you see everything does have a logical explanation.

As people migrated to different areas their languages changed. Even English changes. American English is different in many ways from British English and it has not been so many years since we have been British. The same Goes for the Islands in the Caribbean and Canada. It does not take long for people to forget their "roots" and adapt to a new area. If you look at the root forms of Latin, you will see that all of the "Romance Languages" have the same roots. That is why when you learn one, it is easy to learn another. You do not have to believe in HaShem to understand how languages can change.... Shalom~Adoniah

The different languages were created by the human beings, like the gods and the different religions were created by humans too.

I believe if God, but I dont believe that God explains the reason for different languages. Humans migrated to different regions, and found different ways of commutication and taught it to their decendants. Just like people of today move to different areas and learn the native language so that they can survive there. There is also no law that says we all started in the same area of the world, not that I am aware of. I see no religious or spiritual base to your question at all. Human intelligence is responsible for the different communication styles.
