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

I'm not gonna talk about Bible or God or anything.. For now we can say that things went this way and that way, a myth not a myth and it happened and didn't happen. We can say that much because of research, studies and breakthroughs of sciences and history.

But these studies might not be as accurate as it can be, especially in History, esp those time Before Chirst (BC) were many of the ancient libraries were burned down by Rome, a lot of undocumented event and a lot of civilization unknown. In which they say a big loss of historical information. Our history is a very big jigsaw puzzle that has a lot of missing pieces, making the whole picture even more unclear and enigmatic. Like what was stated in the book "We are not the first by Andrew Tomas", a lot of things they discovered that puzzled the historians, example an accurately made map of arctic, which dated long before we have planes. Historians and scientist got really puzzled since the map was accurately made (that includes the frozen rivers coordinates and all) and it can only be done if they have planes, not to mention those rivers were frozen and can hardly be identified.. Like the stonehenges.. it's one of the unexplainable things.

What I'm getting at is, what we have now are just theories or some information of some 2 to 4 pages of history, in which can be proven wrong by the other missing pages. All we have is faith. Faith on what we believe in. ^^ Faith that those pages are facts. The Tower of Babel in the Bible might really had happened, and same time, may be just a myth.. It's a good thing we stand for what we believe in, But let's not forget not to put a conclusion on the matter, for as I've said, we only know a little in our history. Like in astronomy, we are just a dust in the universe, who knows what's out there.

Kani man gud mga Roman sauna.. sunogon daun mga library sa ilang naConquer.. daghan noon nawala nga information sa history. eheheh..

Chill guys.

You have a point. The GOOD NEWS is that some ancient books were not burned and they in fact survived. The mystical teachings of the great philosophers like Pythagoras and Plato were preserved. The ancients handed down their secret teachings from teacher to student through sacred tablets and initiation rites. They know a lot because they were initiated ONES just like Jesus The Christ. There were books written about THE LOST YEARS of JESUS CHRIST based on THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS that Jesus was a student in the Ancient Mystery School. He knew all the ancient secret teachings of the past. That's why THE GNOSTICS or the MYSTICS know a lot about the Secret Teachings of Jesus than the other branch of Christianity that was espoused by St. Paul.

I learned all these stuff from my in depth study in Theosophy! PEACE!

whew! any more ideas everyone ?

[KASAAC]

that was brilliant...

Differences have something to do with identity. Ganahan ra sila lahi lahi, para unique. hehe.
And maybe (just a theory) they have secrets or knowledge or principles they just want to keep to themselves; so they created certain codes or symbols different from the others.

The Tower of Babel
Genesis 11:1-9

The people of Babel said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth." (NIV).

The descendants of Noah all spoke a single language. As they increased in number and began to spread eastward, they found a fertile area called Shinar and settled there. They decided to build a city with a tower that "reached to the heavens." They wanted the tower to be a proud monument to themselves and a symbol that would keep them united as a powerful people.

However, God was not so pleased. He came down and looked at the city and tower and said,

If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other. (NIV, Genesis 11:6-7)

So God made the people speak many different languages so they could not work together on building the city and tower. The He scattered the people around the world and the city was abandoned. The city was called "Babel" because God confused their languages.

Questions

Where was the Tower of Babel? Bible scholars think the Tower of Babel refers to a ziggurat, the ancient pagan temple tower of the Babylonians. Babylon was located on the Euphrates River about 30 miles (49 km) from the modern city of Baghdad in Iraq. The Babylonians bragged that their tower reached up to the heavens.

What does Babel mean? Babel was the Hebrew name for Babylon which means "gate of god." But It was similar to the Hebrew word balal which meant to confound or confuse. The Hebrews despised the Babylonians, and there may well be a humorous play on words here: Far from being the "gate of god," Babylon was actually the site of much confusion!


Lessons

On the surface, the story of the Tower of Babel offers an explanation for the many different languages spoken on earth. But there is much more to the story.

In ancient times, people thought the heavens were not far above the earth. If only they could build a tower to the sky, they could climb up and be like gods themselves. Mankind had once again lost sight of God and become arrogant and self-sufficient.

God, of course, saw this a pure arrogance. He put an end to the people's delusions of being powerful and important like gods.

We may be tempted to think we no longer need to trust and obey God. We may believe our learning, sophistication and technology are all we need to be self-sufficient and guarantee our security. The lesson of the Tower of Babel is that such self-sufficiency is a delusion. History has shown that many nations and their leaders have fallen into the trap of arrogance and self sufficiency. Like Babel, those nations have eventually ended up in ruins.
