Newsflash! You are not an accident. So, don’t believe or trust anyone who monkeys around with the facts. Because they have an agenda that leads to eternal loneliness and torment.
It should bring you JOY to know you are not an accident.
Because if you’re just some sort of trained ape, what hope do you have?
But maybe you wonder how I can confidently say humans aren’t just another ape or animal. Well, how about the example of “feral children?” They’re children raised without human contact. And there have been studies of 36 documented cases of these children. And guess what?
They don’t speak until they learn from another human. Gasp! But once they’re around other humans, they can understand and learn grammatical rules as early as seven months.
But hey…they train chimpanzees to talk. Don’t they? Short answer…no. Longer answer…
Some chimpanzee trainers have had success training their animals to recognize quite a few words, symbols, and even make some limited hand signs. But when the trained animal dies, the trainer’s hard work goes down the drain. Because these apes don’t pass on their “vocabulary” to their offspring.
And no apes in the wild have shown true vocabulary skills. True language requires vocabulary AND grammar Because that’s how you can use a few words to express a variety of ideas.
And you and I can communicate language in a variety of ways.
We can speak and hear. Read and write. Sign. Use Braille (touch). And we can even tap out a message (Morse code). When something prevents us from communicating one way, we use another. It’s hard-wired into us.
But, sadly, language and our ability to communicate aren’t getting more and more complex. You know…evolving? No, it’s all actually devolving. English, for example, is much less complex than even in the days of America’s founding fathers. When you get a chance, read some of their documents. Because even their personal letters to and from their spouses reveal a much more fluid and flowing use of mood, voice, verb form, syntax, tense, and inflection.
Yeah, we need each other in order to learn to speak. And this suggests that the first humans must have been endowed with a language ability. There just isn’t any evidence that language evolved. And that, of course, means humans didn’t either. And that’s why I say…
You are not an accident,
Or just an ape. You’re Heaven sent.
You were formed inside God’s mind.
And in His image you’re designed.
So speak up and share this word,
That evolution is absurd.
