    In fact, since man did invent language, that should debunk religion. At least, it would debunk Christianity -- God created Adam and Eve and told them not to eat the forbidden fruit? How would he have communicated with them?

    Religion -- What a hoax!

    there is one among those venture a physique language which human beings did not invent reason animals use it too besides as different sounds and scents. additionally God has mercy for people who seek for salvation. Technically God would not create an entire life of suffering for every physique basically human beings do this, human beings born right into an entire life of suffering are on condition that existence with the help of their mom and dad. God won't be able to administration human movements he can basically instruction manual them. additionally God in keeping with what one believes would not punish people who do not shop on with him, he basically punishes people who sin. human beings are born with a unsleeping so all of us comprehend while we sin because of the fact we experience guilt, despite in case you now not experience it after back and back sinning you experience it the 1st time you do it. Your question would properly be spoke back many techniques because of the fact to a pair God would possibly not mean the Christian God. additionally maximum religions require that some good judgment be left at the back of, Christianity isn't the only unusual one. if your attempting to have self assurance make experience properly good luck with that reason it could in no way ensue. faith many times demands have confidence and faith in something you could not see or touch.

    Man didn't set out to invent language, it was an accident of convenience...

    When you use words to hurt another person, it is the same as hitting them with your fist...

    The word isn't bad .. the act of using it to hurt someone is.....

    You make a great point, but let's not forget if we changed all the words in our language, I could have just really insulted you right now.

    God confused our language at the Tower of Babel a few thousands of years ago. The reason was we were all united in an evil purpose. The tower being built was probably no ordinary structure, if you believe like I do that mankind was very technologically advanced prior to the flood and reduced life spans.

    No. Genesis 11 (Amplified Bible) 1AND THE whole earth was of one language and of one accent and mode of expression.

    2And as they journeyed eastward, they found a plain (valley) in the land of Shinar, and they settled and dwelt there.

    3And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly. So they had brick for stone, and slime (bitumen) for mortar.

    4And they said, Come, let us build us a city and a tower whose top reaches into the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the whole earth.

    5And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

    6And the Lord said, Behold, they are one people and they have [a]all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them.

    7Come, let Us go down and there confound (mix up, confuse) their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

    8So the Lord scattered them abroad from that place upon the face of the whole earth, and they gave up building the city.

    9Therefore the name of it was called Babel--because there the Lord confounded the language of all the earth; and from that place the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

    Man did not invent Language.. There are many Forms of language so we can't say the highest power(human at the moment) invented it.

    No.

    Don't think so.

    Look in the real world.

    Decode this lyrics " You'll see "

    "Wonderful world"

    If they do know how?

    Then why were we communicating with hand sign like primitive cave-men with club on the shoulder in time?

    When they Living were not even aware of our creator's universal built-in communication system for communication with God and among all tribes of different community in one universal language and one speech in living words?

    Living examples in front of TV news reels and in prints on people, places and events eerily shrieking and wailing in ghostly kitchen's dialect with ghostly and deadly words from the graveyards of tribe of different community that ended up in communicating with hand signs in time?

    Luke 21.30-36

    Luke 9.25,55-56,60

    Luke 24.44-45,47-48

    Genesis 11.1,3-9

    Revelation 22.13-17

    Luke 6.39-40,41-45,46-49

    What do you think?

    "Merry Christmas everyone"

    Some words are offensive to some people because of the harshness they represent, but that's about the extent of it.
