Just a thought I have on culture�s evolving worldviews.

When God (Biblical God), first spoke to the "Father of Nations" Abraham or more importantly "Law-giving" Moses, he wasn't exactly speaking in tongues or an inexplicable language was he?

Doesn't this mean that God did not invent their language that this language he was speaking was influenced outside of him? The language that would later perceive him was shaped outside of his Law?

Isn't language a means of affirming myths, beliefs and ideas to communicate them?

How this comes into the folklore argument is that most languages have a belief system about them to make people of the culture perceive what is what. So the Hebrews must already have had a language then that would mean they already had a belief system?

Now how does this or did this affect or shape the Bible, like the previous poster said; who knows?
