You be trippin yo.


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.

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



Maybe you and your buddy need a newer, more powerful model, and it is
obvious that JustOldFart could use a visit to the wizard to get a brain
and a heart.
