Um no. The phrase references Sagan and refers to those who still use superstition and religion in their life and still see supernatural forces all around them.
We have people referencing the fable of Eden, Babel, The Flood, Nephilim, Burning bushes as historical fact. They are living in that demon-haunted world.
I was thinking a bit more specific to the fable of Babel. Language likely started and developed in a variety of places. Highly doubtful there was one “language” and then a diaspora caused multiples to develop.
There wasn’t “one” language, there was “a” one language, which was lost in the events following a united people who survived a global disaster towards the end of the Younger Dryas Period.
You’re looking at a universal language as if it’s something like the one you’re currently typing in, when you should be simply looking up at the stars, or even in a math book to find an example of a universal language.
For the rest of you that turn to ash when the Bible is brought up, feel free to read up on Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta if you want an earlier telling of the same story.
You don’t have to hurt yourselves by opening up a Bible. lol
Okay, I am teasing! Plus, I would have been substituting in English Language Arts classes all this week had schools remained opened!
(I am grinning, teasing!)
So…you care a lot, but you could care less? Does that mean even though you could care less, you are not going to care any less? (Psst! Don’t you love grammar teachers?)
The stories of Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta are interesting–something I probably would not have gotten into had I not been home. Thank you.
