I will now summarize my arguments why the existence of the tower of Babel and it resulting in the origin of subsequent languages is a better explanation than science. The Bible claims all the subsequent languages of the world originated from a single source at the tower of Babel. Gen 11:1-9 (ESV) 1 Now the …

We have examples now of objects found worldwide that have varying forms, from modest to highly artistic, that purely have symbolic value. A great example of this is the cross. The cross is ubiquitous and is the most commonly found artifact in the world. We see this also in the Acheulean biface. The cross comes …
I argue they are not tools, but more likely something that has symbolic value (like an art or religious relic). Though many Acheulean biface are modest in appearance, there is a percentage that are quite artistic, even to modern standards. “They are a potent manifestation of an early and continuous human interest in perfection of …

Diogenes wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 9:44 pm Genesis 11:6], the main point is that this is like so many other myths, a simple picture story used to explain why we have different languages. That this story could be taken seriously as an actual event in history is laughable. This is typical of myths around …
However the point of my chronology was that putting it earlier than the Ziggurats still doesn’t put it earlier than the Egyptian culture that produced tomb slabs (that led to the step pyramid) or (eventually) written Egyptian and thus the indirect evidence is that Egypt as a pyramid builder culture and Egyptian – speaking culture …
