It is said that anything that happened before written
language is simply legend or myth, and not counted as history. Using this
theory, it is easy for Bible detractors to nullify much of the Old
Testament. It is my opinion, based on
research, that there has been written language since the beginning of man. Although there is conjecture over the age of
the earth, we know that mankind is approximately 6,000 years old. There was no time,
as we know it, before God created Adam.
Pardon me, there were five days before Adam was created.
Enoch wrote the books God told him to in 2660BC. The Minoan civilization, which flourished
about 5000 years ago had a written language which would have been 3,000BC. Comparing these to the evolutionist theory in
timeline, this would be about the same time the cave men were knocking their
girlfriends in the head with a club and dragging them back to their cave by the
hair. Since we can surmise that written
language didn't just pop into existence, we must assume that there were some
precursors to these writings. Of course, someone may have just Googled it and
shared it with the world.
"The Adamic language is, according to Jews (as recorded in the midrashim) and some Christians, the language spoken by Adam (and possibly Eve) in the Garden of Eden. It is variously interpreted as either the language used by God to address Adam (the divine language), or the language invented by Adam with which he named all things (including Eve), as in Genesis 2:19."[1]
"Our ability to speak
in words came from God. Adam and Eve
(and all human beings since) were created in God's image (Genesis
1:26-27). Among other things, that means
we were created to speak by means of language. Animals were not created in
God's image. They cannot speak like
people can speak.":[2]
The whole world spoke the same language until God diversified the languages.
"The
Minoan Civilization flourished 5000 years ago ... They
were the first in Europe to use a written language, referred
to as Linear A, Mycenaean Linear B is a
syllabic script that was used for writing Mycenaean Greek,
ancient Greek. The history of the Greek alphabet starts
with the adoption of Phoenician letter forms and continues to the
present day."[3] We know that the Egyptians had a written
language in 3,400BC. We know that Moses
received the Ten Commandments in 1446 BC. Using the Bible, as
well as other well-documented historical events, we find that the Flood began
approximately 4,359 years ago in the year 2348 BC. The disappearance
of the Minoan civilization, since it apparently was before the flood, could
account for the emergence of the Mycenaean civilization. " The Minoan civilization was an Aegean Bronze Age
civilization that arose on the island
of Crete
and flourished from approximately the 27th century BC to the 15th century
BC."[4] Could it be that the Minoan writings were
also with Noah in the Ark Tower
of Babel
It is extremely difficult to research the derivation and continuation, of written languages without a basis in faith. The divergence of civilizations before and after the flood leave us with a divergence of agendas by those civilizations. The following is an excellent example of the different theories: "The early inhabitants of
Since we are told that God will supply all our needs (not
necessarily all our wants), wouldn't God have supplied Adam with written language? Either that or God supplied Adam with a
mental capacity the size of the library of congress. There were at least 2 to 50,000,000 species
on earth[6],
which Adam named. He was either able to
remember all those names or he would have written them down. I have read that written language was handed
down from Adam, to the flood, carried on the Ark
