IF Adam & Eve were our 1st parents, then why do we have different languages ?

[The_Child]

There are different ways of looking at Myths. Some scientific, some religious, but i think the most important way of looking at a myth, is by itself - a myth. We have to look at a myth as a myth. But it does not mean it is false, it only means that there are symbolic significance of myths to our contemporary lives.

why are their a plurality of language if we descended from Adam and Eve - the Adamitic tongue, the pre-babel fount of all languages?

There are alot of explanation, but these explanations, most of them, attempt to supplant the value of other perspectives into that of the perspective of looking at myth as myth itself. Say, evolution, we are trying to turn the myth-event into an object of scientific scrutiny. Well, that would do, but by doing so, we would have already tarnished the event itself, encapsulate it, so to say, in the box or a structure. In the history of man, this was attempted, but it failed to reach any conclusion. (Claude Levi-Strauss)

For now, there is no answer,

but the best way we can do with this "mourning" for an absolute language, is to consider that conosolation that this very plurality of language allows us to become more Human by continually creating 'works' in different languages and by so doing, allowing us to understand ourselves better. In plurality, we become more human.

Adam and eve is one of the biblical myths.
The earth itself existed millions of years already.
The bible tells of adam and eve from the creation, which if you examine the timelines in the bible, the earth would only exist a few thousand years. Big difference there.

Biblical Myths na diay kay wa man nagkapariha imu time ug an time sa Ginoo, naunsa man tawn ka ois...
it doesn't mean nga abi kay ingun sa Bible nga 7 days ra gihimu an kalibutan meaning 7 days ra sad sama sa atu days..

Pero if nakabutang sa bibliya nga Nauna ug Himu an Tawo before sa Kalibutan, kana murag myth na jud na..

It does Not follow nga If di nimu ma explain sa kaugalingun nimung Utok, Myth nah na...

given the fact that adam and eve were our first parents... before we deal with language, let us first talk about how the hell did our ancestors manage to populate the different continents without ships, airplane and trains for travelling?

and lastly, how come dili man ang mga tag-as ilong maoy napadpad sa Pilipinas?

How did u know nga wala silay transpo sa una? naa kay fact?

"adam & eve" is a myth

MYTH - A traditional story accepted as history; serves to explain the world view of a people

Because they cannot comprehend and they cannot explain using their own mind - they call it a myth...

hehehe... kanang taas ug ilong ug mubo tungod na sa envi... ni adapt ang atong mga ancestors... evoultion... mutation...

[unsay_ngalan_nimo]

if that is so, why didn't they rearrange the contents in the bible?

hehehe.... lets ask the departed souls sa mga writers and scribe ng bible... no bible scholars also volunteered to do that...

God makes it difficult for us to believe him... thats the beauty of faith... its actually a gift from God... -from a theist-

[Maikeru]

insert ko.. basing on what i read in the bible (bible npud) it's cause God made us to speak in different language.. kato gai part nga naa tong Tower of Babel? Well, that if bible basihan.. if lain? ummm.. ummm.. la nako kibaw.. hehhe

bro, hilig mn gyd ka ug history... ang kaliutan sa0na, sumpay ang yuta... sa pila ka tuig, nag sge ug linog, nagka buwag2x ang yuta... ma0 nang naay mga countries krn...

sa0na, dli na sila kinahanglan ug barko... lakaw ra na... ang best explanation nku ana... sa tower of babel, after na change ilang language, dli sila mgka sinabot, xempre ang mag kuyog k2 rang ngka sinabot... buwag2x sila... sge ug lakaw... nangita ug lugar nga mabuhi... kung mahurot ang ilang pagka0n, lakaw nsad sila ug lain lugar... after mga thousands or even millions of years, dha na nag katag2x na ang mga taw sa tibuok kalibutan... ug nag buwag2x nsad ang mga yuta ky pila na gd ka linog ang ni agi sa millions of years...

Are you talking about Plate Tectonics bro? Coz if you are, do you know the average movement of the earth's crust? I think if you base your thoughts on that, let me ask you lng unsa kadugay in millions of years nga ma-irog ang land mass to be divided as far as each continent is compared to the time that the 1st humans came to be as claimed by evolutionists? i dunno the exact figures but di ba more or less 10,000 years ago pa man? so sa ato pa, divided na daan ang continents before pa na-taw ang supposedly 1st human being?
