How doesn’t it? (As is believed by any creationist I know of,) Adam and Eve, the first two humans, were the most genetically healthy and diverse. Their gametes contained nearly infinite possibilities, and, when combined, they resulted in drastically genetically different children. Furthermore, human lifespans before the flood ranged in the several-hundreds, giving Adam and Eve plenty of time to conceive many, many different children. However, it was only after the dispersion from the Tower of Babel that separate races were developed. This was the first time humanity as a whole went off in different, separate groups, to different corners of the world, mating with each other and becoming more genetically alike after each generation. Ever since then, our genetics have been getting more and more specific and flawed (more congenital mutations), since many potential genetic combinations go unused and not passed-on after each generation. This causes more and more genetic problems for modern humanity.
How many dang times did I say genetic/s in that paragraph.

Compare the races, diseases, and civilizations of today to those 2,500 years (or even less) in the past. Now ask yourself if that’s really a big shock. Furthermore, your math is, as usual, flawed. It’s not 2,500 years ago. It’s 4,500 years ago. Even less of a shock.

The Tower of Babel wasn’t the end of the diversity of language. It was the beginning. It didn’t create modern-day languages; that’s ridiculous. It created multiple languages that eventually developed and meshed and changed into modern-day languages. Take Latin, for example. It’s the base of several languages, though it’s now extinct today. Latin may have been one of the original Babel languages (just an interesting speculation).

Why the frig would you answer only about the last five months if I asked you if you’d read the Bible? You just…lack all forms of comprehension.
Uhhhh, duh? Different languages existed after 2,500 B.C. That’s…exactly what I was saying. Furthermore, the dating of the civilization of Egypt is most likely seriously flawed. I already gave you a link to another dating. Furthermore, WHERE ARE THE SOURCES TO ALL THIS???

Do you have conclusive proof otherwise, or…?

2,500 B.C. sounds accurate to me.

That family of eight consisted of Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives. So that part isn’t incest. Furthermore, as I have explained on this blog before, the further back you go in the gene pool, the more diverse their genetics, the fewer harmful genetic mutations. So reproduction between two related individuals back then doesn’t have the same biological stigma it does today.
As for the way the stories spread so quickly to different cultures and languages… Heard of the Tower of Babel?
Why would I change my opinions when they haven’t been disproven, and some are actually being supported?
The Apostate Crusader: Okay, so here’s a legit question about pedophilia.
Whoa.
I’m afraid your vehemence and demands are where the productivity of this conversation ends (And in your world of moral relativism, my God is still absolutely wrong and “disgusting”?). So I’m going to wrap this up, try to make it short and sweet.
I have learned from…
Spoiler- The evidence is not valid. Here’s an example. This is the site’s assertion that human language is evidence of the existence of god:
Language is one of the main things that separates man from the animals. No animal is capable of achieving anything like human speech, and all attempts to teach chimpanzees to talk have failed. Evolutionists have no explanation for the origin of human language. However, the Bible does. It says that the first man, Adam, was created able to speak. The Bible also explains why we have different human languages, as God had to “confuse” the common language being used in Babel after the flood, in order to force people to spread out around the world as He wanted. This was only a “surface” confusion though, as all languages express the same underlying basic ideas and concepts, enabling other languages to be learned and understood.Because never before has an animal ever been known to make a sound. They certainly don’t utilize different tones, vowel/consonant sounds, or other methods of communication. And everyone knows that birds such as parrots and crows are completely incapable of mimicking human language- that’s “something like human speech” right there.
Here is the link to a video clip demonstrating elephants using sounds(albeit ones that we can’t hear.. or is that just the atheists playing a trick on us?) to communicate. They also use logic and reasoning to solve a problem.
A religious person would want to trivialize child abuse to try and prove their point. Totally “legit.”
A few problems there.
“Evolutionists have no explanation for the origin of human language.” Uh, no, completely wrong. Language evolved. There you go.
“God had to ‘confuse’ the common language being used in Babel after the flood, in order to force people to spread out around the world as He wanted.” Oh, really? I thought he was trying to prevent them from building something in his yard. I’ve never heard that story interpreted any way other than “God was mad that they were building a tower to heaven, so he gave them all different languages as punishment.” Fuck off.
“…all languages express the same underlying basic ideas and concepts, enabling other languages to be learned and understood.” Clearly whoever wrote this knows absolutely nothing about linguistics. I’m not a linguist, but I know enough to say that languages usually only share a common structure if they also share a root language. Latin-based languages have a lot of similarities, because they all came from Latin, but they have very little in common with Arabic or Chinese.
The conversation’s pretty much done at this point, but seriously? That’s just silly.
Mmkay, you made a really flimsy excuse to try to explain away one of the least consequential points on the whole list. Show me you have any idea how to refute the other 11 (#13 isn’t really an evidence, so you get a reprieve on that). FYI, if even one of these is un-refutable, it still poses a huge threat to the entire theory of evolution. So I hope you don’t believe in that.
Because never before has an animal ever been known to make a sound. They certainly don’t utilize different tones, vowel/consonant sounds, or other methods of communication.

Just making noises is not a language. Mimicking noises is not a language. No animal even comes close to exhibiting anything as complex as human language, or the language center in the human brain. Try again.

I said absolutely nothing about child abuse. This is completely fabricated. You’re losing so much credibility right now.
“Evolutionists have no explanation for the origin of human language.” Uh, no, completely wrong. Language evolved. There you go.
From what? How? Prove it, or else we have nothing but the word of an idiot to rely on.
Oh, really? I thought he was trying to prevent them from building something in his yard.
Proof that you don’t study the Bible enough to be able to discredit it. From the beginning, God told mankind to spread out and cover the earth. However, they disobeyed this, instead grouping together into one people and glorifying themselves by building a tower, basically as a monument to themselves. God punished them both for their arrogance and for not obeying his command to spread across the earth. The confounding of their languages caused them to be unable to communicate as a cohesive group, so they did what God had wanted in the first place—split up.
Clearly whoever wrote this knows absolutely nothing about linguistics. I’m not a linguist, but
ROFL! I’m done here; that is just too rich.
