Why do we speak different languages?

Okay well not much on that last post but that's all good. Can't expect everyone to be checkin it out right away. All go though the posts are still up and you guys can give us all your opinions on any of them so we're gonna move on to another concept that is straight out of the Bible that I don't really understand. The origin of speech in separate languages. Please let us know what you think, or the way that your religion explains it. Now the towel of Babel is the story from the bible that explains this phenomenon. It says the people of the earth were building a great tower that would be the greatest structure ever to be created and they were worshiping this man made structure rather than God the creater of Heaven and Earth and everything. So God gets pretty angry (rightfully so) and just makes everyone speak different languages so that the workers can't communicate, and the tower can't be built. Totally cool idea, but really doesn't seem legitamate to me now that I look at maps of the way that language has developed over time based on geography and separate isolated groups of people. Also if all languages were created by God at that time why then are there so many languages that are no longer spoken by the people of any nation such as Latin? Come on there are some really smart Christians out there and I want to hear some good arguments that can help me understand different ways of thinking about this issue. Come on Christian people you won't find a more open mind anywhere else.

Well I Guess We'll Start At the Begining

Hey guys I'm at a really weird place in my life right now, and there are a lot of things that I can't figure out mosly with my beliefs. This is probably not the best place to seek religious advice but i need people who i feel i can truly speak my mind to. I have taken a good hard try at Christianity but the thing is that there are so many things in Christainity that I just basically don't believe. So here's what we'll do I'm gonna post one thing every week and I wanna get a discussion going. First idea. The theory of evolution against the story of Adam and Eve. Theories on the origin or life . These are the two that I am most familiar with but any ideas will find interested ears. I'm gonna be on the Evolution side for this one, and the thing is that I seriously think that everyone would accept this theory if they fully understood it. I could try to do a full explanation but I don't know where to start so what are the problems you guys have with evolution? Is there anyone who thinks they understand evolution or even have a good grasp on it and still belive in the story of Adam and Eve? If so I'd also really like to hear ideas as to how these ideas could co-exist. The symbolic argument is a very cool angle, but I don't see any clear correlation. Seriously let me know what you guys think.
