John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

• Heb. 11:3,
• Heb. 11:3, “By faith we understand that the

worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.”

• Gen. 1:3, “Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and

there was light.

• Gen. 1:4, “And God saw that the light was good; and

God separated the light from the darkness.

• Gen. 1:5, “And God called the light day, and the

darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.”

“In this context, then, consider the case of human

• language. It is one of the most distinctive behavioral

adaptations on the planet. Languages evolved in only

• ne species, in only one way, without precedent, except

in the most general sense. And the differences between languages and all other natural modes of communicating are vast.” Terence Deacon, The Symbolic Species

“Looking more closely, we will discover that a radical re-engineering of the whole brain has taken place, and

• n a scale that is unprecedented.”

Terence Deacon, The Symbolic Species

“In 1866, a ban on the topic was incorporated into the founding statutes of the Linguistic Society of Paris, perhaps the foremost academic linguistic institution of the time: ‘The Society does not accept papers on either the origin of language or the invention of a universal language.’”

“Physically, a deprived physical environment led to more meat-eating and, as a result, a bigger brain. The enlarged brain led to the premature birth of humans, and in consequence a protracted childhood, during which mothers cooed and crooned to their offspring. An upright stance altered the shape of the mouth and vocal tract, allowing a range of coherent sounds to be uttered.”
