When Adam spent thousands of years naming all the life on the earth, what language did he use? What was the purpose of naming them when his language was to be long forgotten and no one around him knew or cared about what a Rattus norvegicus was called? What did Adam call the tube worms found at the mile deep ocean vents, Riftia pachyptila? How did he know about them to describe them. What would be the significance of having one man bauble on about animals? This is like one man creating an encryption code but not creating a deciphering key for anyone else, it's useless in conversation if other people can not understand what you refer to.
How exactly did the Tower of Babel incident cause the birth of all modern languages, all at the same time. Is it not true that modern languages are derivatives of older languages?
The biblical history of language is completely pathetic.
