Hi,
I have never been on a chat line before, so if I do
anything wrong, I would like to know.
I have been looking into origins and was wondering if some
one could help me out.
If a person accepts the creation account found in the
Bible, it gives an explanation for the languages as starting at Babel, if I read
it right. However, if one accepts the evolution concept that we all came
from a primate, then how is it explained to account for the evolution of
language, especially the oriental languages that are so different? If the
"cradle of humanity" is in Europe, then it would seem that all language would be
from Indo-European base. Howere, it the Leachey (?) findings in Africa
prove to be the oldest of finds, then I guess Africa becomes the "Cradle of
Humanity" and all language would have to come from there.
Or am I really out to lunch?
Thanks,
Herb
