Over 7,000 languages are spoken throughout the world. Yet language analysts have determined all these languages came from over 100 original language families. And that’s what we’d expect, starting with the Bible.
You see, after the Flood, Noah’s descendants disobeyed God. They refused to spread around the world. So God confused their language, forcing them to fill the earth.
We can look at the genealogies recorded in Genesis and see that, from the original language, God created about 100 new ones. And that’s a match with what language analysts have discovered!
Like always, science confirms God’s Word … as we’d expect right from the beginning.
