Language and group evolution as a sign of divine creation? What is the right choice philosophically?

submitted by HibikiBlackCaudillo from (self.conspiracy)

I personally think evolution is mostly Lamarckian. But there are things that not even Lamarck fully explains. Races are so drastically different in certain aspects that it makes me curious about our origins. People do have the common trait of devoloping similar traditions and a common culture. Language is an example of how a group of people can evolve together and share very similar traits.

People fear the idea of someone being able to hold the truth, but I'm sure that the formation of groups and guilds and seeking the common interests of the people that form these groups, like in collectivism, is something divine. People shouldn't fear being able to grasp the truth in this fashion.

The Chinese language with its thousands of lithographic characters showed up in historical records about 3,500 years ago... fully developed. How does that happen?

It is my belief that language comes from above, since words are themselves spiritual. Thoughts are also spiritual. Both come from the spirit realm.

God is the Word. The Word created everything. Nothing was made without Him.

There used to be only one language, but God confounded their language at the tower of Babel, and then the people, no longer able to understand everyone, stopped building the tower and formed into groups of those that were given the same language, and departed, migrating across the world, taking their new languages with them.
