Why do people reject the Babel account? Simply put, it contradicts certain theories regarding the origin of language. For example, some scholars suggest that language groups did not appear suddenly but evolve gradually from one "mother tongue." Others believe that several original languages developed independently, advancing from simple grunts to complex speech. These and other conflicting theories have cause many to agree with Professor W.T. Fitch, who wrote in his book The Evolution of Language: "We do not yet have full convincing answers."
What have archaeologists and researchers uncovered regarding the origin and development of human languages? Do their discoveries confirm any of the proposed theories? Or do the findings support the Babel account? First, let us take a look at that Bible account.
Note: I can tell you what I have read in the Bible many, many times. This account supports the facts in the Bible. It is God's book and is the truth. It is the truth because everything that God says is the truth. He does not lie, because every prophecy he has made has come true.
