If God created linguistic diversity, how do you account for the fact that language continues to evolve today and modern English is less than 1000 years old?
The fundy/creo answer would probably be that mankind's let's-get-to-heaven-on-our-own attitude hasn't changed, so God is still trying to divide us. (That would also explain why He's against the UN.)
I'm sure the current trend toward English as a universal language, especially on the Interent, has Him plenty worried.
And does that mean "universal" languages like Esperanto that try to unite people are sinful since they would be contrary to God's will?
If Esperanto was successful, it would be part of the on-going divine plan for division. However,
a couple of million speakers is effectively zero.
Imperialism seems to be a more efficient strategy for spreading universal languages. That's why God is against imperialism.... Hmm.... Who'da thunk fundy logic would trip itself up?
