I thought you weren't arguing about the evolutionary origins of language...

that begs the question..why wasn't the bible written in that language?

DNA is chemically encoded instruction. Is it not? Language requires an encoder and a decoder. What is doing the encoding and then the decoding? This applies to language and DNA and I am not referring to the process itself.

i think you are derailing this thread, like the last time. why don't you do your own research set up an argument and then start your own thread on the matter...

No one speaks this language any more that we know of and I believe it would allow God to separately deal with the various people groups after the Tower of Babel. What happened before when they all spoke one language?

Encoder = Society, the others users of the language + time
Decoder = The brain, through learning the words and their meanings and applying them
But this isn't the thread for this.

are you saying that god can only communicate in a different language and he created languages that would keep us from understanding god?

Ok, sorry for sidetracking. Just asking the same question most linguist ask. Does it really matter in the end what Adam spoke? What purpose does it serve us?

If it was taught to Adam directly from God, then at the very least it would be a neat concept.

No,I am saying according to what i understand from reading this story that God pusposely seperated the peoples languages in order to keep them from making the same mistake twice. I will leave this conversation at that. Its not my intention to derail any conversation here. The original thread asked what language Adam spoke. I personally believe that that particular language ceased, but its underlying framework exist and allows us to translate each others languages so as to regain communication everywhere.

According to what I understand they thought they could rise up to heaven and pull God down, but we could further this conversation elsewhere if you would like to start a thread.

do you think that would have actually happen and not suffer from altitude sickness instead? but of course god knew this, right?
yet god allowed for the A bomb to be created...cool.

I think the original language was Enochian, as that is the language angels speak and so probably the language of God and Adam too.

I've studied linguistics, and we were never asked those kind of questions..
It'd be pretty neat, we'd learn about the first language, and if it was a "Heavenly" language or whatever.
But I don't believe in Adam and Eve. Nor the Bible.

Why does everyone ignore me when I suggest Enochian?

Curious. What branch of linguistics? Are you familiar with Evolutionary Linguistics?

Because no sane person would think Enochian is the primal language. :yes:
