Why do people reject the Babel account? Simply put, it contradicts certain theories regarding the origin of the language. For example, some scholars suggest that language groups did not appear suddenly but evolved 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 caused many to agree with Professor W.T. Fitch, who wrote in his book The Evolution of Language: "We do not yet have fully 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 finding support the Babel account? First, let us take a closer look at the Babel account.
