Why? It's easy enough to show the evolution or changes in language made
by humans over time, both in the language itself and in the meanings and
changes in words. Understanding evolution, after all, requires a mind
able to think at at least the junior high school level, which may be too
advanced for the creationism religious simpletons.

The "evolution" of a language however is entirely different than the
evolution of a species. In the case of the latter, the species
evolves because less fit members have less success procreating
themselves and vice versa. Language of course does not procreate, and
therefore can not evolve in a Darwinian sense. Quod erat
demonstrandum.

It is important that the brain get enough oxygen 24 hours a day.


It's important to notice a word like "metaphor" and a phrase like
"metaphor in many ways" and what the word metaphor means and how a
metaphor may be used.

Once again, for the language impaired he "English is a perfect
metaphor in many ways for Darwin's Theory of
Evolution."

Not in every way, but in many ways.

Now, why not devote yourself to what I am sure you do best, W'hine: go
**** up a rope. Literally.


===

You assert that "English is the perfect metaphor" for evolution. That
doesn't even make sense let alone be an imperfect metaphor. Your cart
is before your horse metaphorically speaking, thus giving you a
perfect view of the horse's arse which you resemble.


Perhaps if you understood evolution and how language evolves... but you
don't.

No wonder so many English majors are under employed, with statements like
"English is a perfect metaphor in many ways for Darwin's Theory of
Evolution." Confusing apples and oranges.



My goodness. You're not pretending to be dumb as a post, are you? Why
don't you look up metaphor and get back to us?



I know what a metaphor is, you should learn.

Yes but it doesn't seem to be helping much.



Maybe you and your buddy need a newer, more powerful model, and it is

Anglo-Saxon (Old English) did. Latin has, for the most part. So has
ancient Greek. These old languages evolved into something else and then
for the most part died out. Evolution in action, as it were.
