Message 141
Could this be reopened? I was just in the middle of posting something that I think would help to bring the thread back on topic. My new message was to deal with the rise of English as a global language; primarily, it would serve to show that English is not, as a language, fundamentally different than any other language, and that the increased use of English has nothing to do with any 'pliability' of the language.
That would be, of course, in refutation to IAJ's point that English had a special place in God's heart (or whatever exactly his point is); and since this is the only 'evidence' he's put forward for the creation of English it would knock his entire argument down.
Thanks,
Jon

[Philosophy] stands behind everything. It is the loom behind the fabric, the place you arrive when you trace the threads back to their source. It is where you question everything you think you know and seek every truth to be had. - Archer Opterix [msg=-11,-316,210]
