There are 800 languages in Papua New Guinea, Goodlife. Did they all start with the tower of Babel? How did the Romance languages start? There were no Spanish, French or Portuguese 2000 years ago, were there?
I wonder which parts of the Bible do you think Naomi and I haven't read? Remember, Goodlife, the Devil can quote scripture too.

//So interestingly, only the Bible gives a satisfying explanation of the origin of the diversity of languages that we see today.//
//During the first 17 centuries of human existence, everyone spoke just one language, having “one set of words.” (Gen. 11:1)//
If you will base all your beliefs on just one book you will forever be ignorant.
"Using statistical methods to estimate the time required to achieve the current spread and diversity in modern languages today, Johanna Nichols — a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley — argued in 1998 that vocal languages must have begun diversifying in our species at least 100,000 years ago."

One is almost forced to laugh at your childishness
18: But someone might argue, “Some people have faith, and others have good works.” My answer would be that you can’t show me your faith if you don’t do anything. But I will show you my faith by the good I do.
19 You believe there is one God. That’s good, but even the demons believe that! And they shake with fear.
20 You fool! Faith that does nothing is worth nothing. Do you want me to prove this to you? James 2:18-20

None of your scriptural non-sequiturs persuade me of anything, goodlife.
In fact, it seems to me that having a faith in a supernatural entity causes far more anxiety than it alleviates.
And any church that promotes disfellowshipping and shunning of friends, colleagues or even family. any religion that disapproves of Charitable giving, whilst taking advantage of the tax breaks of having charitable status is not a religion that carries any credibility with it.
And your exasperation continually shines through. People point out your logical fallacies, the nonsense you spout about Creationism, and what do you do? You resort to personal insult, calling them childish or worse.
You are a spokesperson for a morally bankrupt cult, spouting cut and paste scriptural verse. You do not come here with honest intent, seeking argument, debate, discussion - You use this as a platform to evangelise.

I agree with ChrisGel and look it all up.
Goodlife's translation is even crazier that some of mine. But surprisingly, the Hebrew verb has a choice of meaning and the Greek translation (350BC) chooses an odd one.
I have to say this commentary has a good go at Hebrew, Greek and Latin, impressive
Verse 7. - The lips of the wise disperse knowledge (ver. 2; Proverbs 10:31). The LXX. takes the verb יִרָוּ in its other signification of "binding" or "embracing," and translates, "The lips of the wise are bound (δέδεται) with knowledge;" i.e. knowledge is always on them and controls their movements. The wise know when to speak, when to be silent, and what to say. But the heart of the foolish doeth not so; i.e. doth not disperse knowledge. Vulgate, cor stultorum dissimile erit, "will be unlike," which probably means the same as the Authorized Version. (Compare a similar use of the words lo-ken in Genesis 48:18; Exodus 10:11.) But the contrast is stated rather weakly by this rendering, lips and heart having the same office to perform; hence it is better, with Delitzsch, Ewald, and others, to take כֵן (ken) as an adjective in the sense of "right" or "trustworthy," and either to supply the former verb, "disperseth that which is not right," or to render, "The heart of the foot is not directed right;" the fool goes astray, and leads himself and others into error. Septuagint, "The hearts of fools are not safe (ἀσφαλεῖς)."

Wish I was more laid back. Unfortunately as life has gone on I've got more and more uptight about everything that's wrong and I'm having to endure. I don't think it's a choice, it's what one is. No sympathy from those who are naturally unbothered with everything, as they don't know what it is like to be fed up with it all. Telling someone they are better if relaxed is a little like telling a depressed person to just cheer up.
