Only been around (recorded) for a few thousand years, but I daresay the atheist is hard-pressed to come up with a theory which would explain where and how so many distinct languages came about in such a short period of time. I seem to remember a computer model study which plotted recorded (Indo-European) languages "evolved" and spread. The model plot seemed to show that the language plot had an origin (before spreading out over time) in Turkey - but they didn't really grasp the significance of that (being conducted at a secular university). It took some theist researchers to realize that the location depicted in the computer model appeared to line up to to location many bible scholars placed to be near the Tower of Babel. I'll have to see if I can dig that up.

‘Near the Tower of Babel’ is more than a little problematic, since the Tower is a myth. It’s like saying you grew up near the Emerald City.
