CHAPTER 1.
The Language Origin between the Bible and the Theosophies

1.1. The Language Origin from Bible view The history of the human words and human language is lost in the immemorial time in the past. There is no evidence how the sounds of speech came into being for the first time but a lot of ancient or mythical stories recorded such a notable event. From 18th century philologists and men of science tried to explain the phenomenon, but they just increased further the blur that already was spread on such controversial issue. There are some sources considered to contain the elements of the proto process of first language used and the words first time uttered. Of course, these unusual interpretations that have been offered until nowadays are not generally accepted but contain strong references to the mentioned issue. First spring brought into our approach to be studied is the Bible. In the Book of Genesis it has been related a very odd story that shows how the languages have been multiplied and overspread into a similar current constellation we know today. Thus, what does not satisfy everyone within this story is that the ramifications of languages are shown but not the source of it. The story induces only that the knowledge it was received once with the man's creation (Gen. 1:28).

Deceived by Satan, man rebelled against his own Creator. Man was led astray many times in the past by the Angel of Light. This became later Lucifer an angel of darkness and sin, after was thrown out from Gods throne vicinity for falling in arrogance and selfpride. This time human beings started to build a tower to defy the Supreme Divinity. For such boldness human kind is again punished by God, but this time with confusion not with complete destructions how has been shown in the stories of The flood, Sodom and Gomorra, and the like. The disorder sent is an inner social affection and not total societys condemnation like in the previous times. The story indicates that in the period when the construction of the Babels tower began there was one language spoken only and one body of people: And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do (Gen 11:6). This Bibles subchapter also indicates geographically from where were these people, and where were they are displacing. What we can see here also is that this first language was about people that journeyed from the east. Even the words resonance symbolically records the matter of facts, thus Babel has the meaning of in the Hebrew language, descendent of the Aramaic language, confusion= or mixing1, an interlinear Hebrew-English Bible giving the following translation mix (someone) up= (( : Come, let Us go down and mix up (confuse) there their language so that they cannot understand one anothers speech. (Gen. 11:7). 2 Also, the first bible passage mentioned above records a very significant key word, specifically imagined, that sends us to the initial seduction of men by the serpent from the Garden of Eden and the first disobedience of men vis a vis his creator the Almighty God, creator of Heaven and Earth. Because the writers of Scripture by the spirit of God wrote the divine Word of God, transcribed accurately, reliably, and without error in the original manuscript (2 Tim 3:16), I will consider that all stories from the Bible are true, and some happened and some are waiting to be fulfilled.

Further, we find The tower of Babels chapter is preceded by the first encounter with the greatest enemy of man, the Satan in the Garden of Eden. If in the construction project of the tower was to exalt the devil above the clouds which is the footstool of the Most High, this deceiver has used the imagination decoy already in The fall of man. The deception that occurred in the Garden of Eden is very well known by all, but what should to be figured out was what actually happened there, a thing that, I presume, just few succeeded it. First we know very well that men were happy and complete in the garden of God. They had all respected the Gods word which was in fact the commandments of God and the first language that men spoke. Here, Satan doesn't just hit the primordial believes of men, but even in their earliest self of man that was with God, succeeding later to subvert, how we seen, also the man's language too. In those times human beings were entirely in the hand of God. Analogically all that appertained to men was of God, in Him and with Him. The only thing that was in the power of human like a created being was his free will that in this phase his self and sense of life was identically in God and with God till was not perverted by Gods rival, the Satan. Following this line, the biblical story relates that one day the serpent, the being that had the power to be where he wanted, and when he wanted, with the exception of God throne vicinity, from where he was rejected once addicted by self-pride, deceived men provoking them to disobey their Creator the God Almighty too. But how could the Satan tempt the unsullied and happy men to abandon the guidance of God and to follow his teachings? First this great deceiver saw that the mans companion, the woman was more approachable. Thus, Satan knew that man was first created by God. That man's reasoning abilities were higher than his affection capabilities. But sentiments and the affects were compensated in his companion, the woman, who was in fact endowed too generously with these. The shortage of mental abstract analyses, made woman be inclined more on concrete feature, in which man had the preeminence. Satan challenged thus the weak point of this couple that was built perfectly, they shall be one flesh (Gen 2:24), but imperfect in the two halves of each one of them. One day the humanitys Liar asked the woman if she does not want to enhance her knowledge, to

be more than for what she was built, and to be like her Creator. That day Satan deceiving scheme was in fact the doctrine that in time will be named theosophy. The core knowledge of this philosophy is the suggestion that man will become a god: ye shall be like as gods (Gen. 3:5). Thus, the woman persuaded being by her imagination, an error that led her into the trap of her greatest enemy, drags also her companion into the curse of sin, because disobeying Gods words, she gave heed to the words of her opponent, provoking the fall of humanity. 1.2. The Language Origin from Theosophical view Today and the future of entire humanitys destiny will be only a battle between whose advices we will take into a consideration, whose philosophy would be more agreeable to our needs, a thin choice between life and death, between the traps of our own languages, terminology, notions, or definitions, how already the past has shown to us too often. From this section starts the second category of the arguments regarding the languages history and its origin. Once that Satan could cause the fall of human beings, he could also provoke the uncertainty in the mind of the doubters using his ultimate tools, the science, technology, and false philosophies about the most important questions that man wants to know: from where he is, what he is, why is he here and where is he going after his death. After this first stroke gave to the human beings integrity to estrange these from their true God, Satan never ceased to devise theories, ideologies, doctrines, and nowadays supertechnologies to drop in obliteration mans origin, estrange from his true Lord and his true existence purpose. Whatever we would say about the Big Bang, or the universe origins, or of the cosmic constellations regarding the shaping of galaxies with all the suns and heavenly corps, with all that contains a planet, whatever we would talk about geology, cosmic dust, evolution of first proto bio forms in the Universe, all these are just quibble questions to deviate the attention of all human races from the truth, from the proper reference, from God the creator of all things. In this context human appearance too, and his evolution represents a gap in the animal kingdom from all points of view it has been studied, no matter we talk about his physiology, his biological or psychological features, visible and

invisible characteristics, man is a paradox between the mammals and his so called ascendency. For instance, if we talk about human abilities, intelligence, adaptability, or mans endowments for communication, all the studies have arrived to more than dazzling conclusions from all the researchers, scholars and scientists, who wanted to find imperfections or to oversimplify something that seemed remarkably rudimentary, but unfolded to become more complex that in the folded state. Thus the man's language, for instance, has the same effects on those that tried to find physiological or mental explanations of the speaking apparatus. Darwinism human evolution theory lunch the same intermission in the sphere of the man's emergence. In his book The Descent of Man (1871), Darwin human intellect development theory posed some difficulties even if the origin of the moral articulate language is due to the emergence of advanced moral sensibility. But, also this theory has its own pitfalls because Darwin empiricist approach to mentality necessitated a materialist description on language development. For this Darwin relied on the intellectual authority of the contemporary theorists in linguistic science, like that of Hensleigh Wedgwood and philologist Frederic W. Farrar: There is no more improbability in the continued use of the mental and vocal organs leading to inherited changes in their structure and functions, than in the case of the hand-writing, which depends partly on the form of the hand and partly on the disposition of the mind; and handwriting is certainly inherited. 3 If someone by chance had never in his life encountered the evolutions theory pointed out by Darwin like a red line in his entire opera will be shocked by the insistence with which this man of science hammered the coin of human being emerged from the animal kingdom: This faculty (language) has justly been considered as one of the chief distinctions between man and lower animals. 4 The opposite theory that stands against is found in the Book of Genesis where the Bibles believers are thought that man is made in the imagine of God (Gen.1:27), even

if man is lower than the angels (Psalm 8:5-6) their Creator will value him more than any celestial beings. So, we will always face two main antagonistic theories on our Planet till Judgment Day: one of the logic and reason, came from an earthily wisdom (Jas 3:15) , irradiated by all the theosophical ideologies and other strange doctrines promoting that man himself will become a god, his own creator, emanated by their obscure author and master through any possible channel; and the second which abides in hearth and soul of every Bibles believer, poured from a heavenly wisdom (Jas 3:17), that man is only a servant of the Celestial Father and his son, Jesus Christ. Thus, there are many other theories, beside Darwins interpretation, that try to describe a convincing interpretation on mans first sign, verbal or communication evolution. All the observations and the records on the issue somehow limits to three main groups: humans discovered, received, or invented language. 5 1.3. The Languages Origin Main Interpretations Groups

The group of The Animal Sound Theory like the majority interpretations affiliates to the evolution theory viewing life from this narrow perspective. Lieberman P. explains thus in his book Eve Spoke: Human Language and Human Evolution that speech possession is virtually equated with being human.6 An interesting definition, for the language latent incipient, gives Trask R. L. in his book Key Concepts in Language and Linguistics,

Trask, R.L., Key Concepts in

Language and Linguistic, Routledge, New York, p. 105, 1999. Our language faculty, we now strongly suspect, is built into our genes, and learning a first language may not be so different from learning to see: at birth, our visual apparatus is not working properly, and it requires some exposure to the visible world before normal vision is acquired.7 Blackmores Meme Theory is based on the abilities of man to imitate and to reproduce a unit of information residing in a brain or ideas that are passed on8 from subject to subject arriving to such mutations that cannot be recognized from the initial original pattern.

The Emergent Human Theory, does not wants to recognize directly a creator but they say that the building blocks of the DNA shifted randomly as men evolved, giving him the ability to communicate. This group recognizes with subtlety that in the man himself is laid the self-creation seed, and not received ultimately from an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent God. Can natural selection operating on random arrangements of material building blocks (i.e., subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, and larger collections and structures of matter), produce the genomes of all living things, the human language capacity, and all of the worlds 6000 plus natural languages? There are two polar views on this question that are widely held by practicing scientists. At one extreme there is the neo-Darwinian claim that chance aided by natural selection can arrange dynamic information systems as they are now. At the other end there is the view that a transcendent Intelligence not limited by matter, space, and time is required. Here an argument is presented from logicomathematical proofs developed in theoretical semiotics to show unequivocally that the known symbol systems seen in genomes and in human languages cannot be produced by chance arrangements of any kind of material building blocks. The argument is general. It applies to all possible symbol systems, though the emphasis here is on the genetic system evidently underlying all living organisms and the human language capacity, which is manifested in the multitude of natural languages. 9 The Sign Language Theory, even if has hilarious characteristics pretends academically approach. This theory known as the bow wow theory was proposed by Max Miller in 1880, though even he did not consider it very likely. 1.4. The Languages Origin and God The group of The creation theory is the most unbelievable to be credited, but the most probable. Because neither the evolutionists theories had been satisfactory capable to solve the easiest task they assumed to find, namely any animal that was endowed with a transitional form of communication, and second neither evolutionists could find the origin of any language. Who understands the verse Gen.1:27 will be able to comprehend not only why God give language to people, but also why God uses languages with His

people with whom He is imparted. Thus, this makes sense, because language gives a picture of the nature of God. Language, like God, is incredible complex. Entire lifetimes can be spent studying it, and yet even toddlers can understand and begin to use it*. Now whatever we look at Darwin theory about language or his followers that tried to give like him all kind of arguments and logical affirmations or whatever we look nowadays currents of literature, doctrines, ideologies, science and technologies that tries to give from an high level of earthly wisdom a hint about from where we came, what we are, and where we go, is just the terminology, the notions and definitions with whom the great Deceiver and the Liar of humanity fights against the heavenly wisdom and of those that search and keep the Word of God, written in the Book of Life: The Bible.
