how does history of language explain the begining of universe?
how did the word devil, or satan get its meaning? and is it a coincidence that this word is found in all languages?

Language does nothing to explain the beginning of the universe because the universe is 15 billion years old and language is only 100 thousand years old at the most. The word "Devil" or "Satan" is NOT in every language. LOL. That is one of the silliest things I have ever heard about language, and I have heard a LOT of silly things.

Those of us who believe in the Bible believe that everyone spoke the same language from the beginning of the world until the construction of the Tower of Babyl. (read up on the Tower of Babyl story if you need to know more). God then caused a confusion of tongues, meaning that people began to speak other languages. So, it makes sense though that some words would be the same.

Language came long after creation, and long after humans were on earth. The earliest we know about history is when humans began writing, which was a long time after language existed.
Satan found in all languages? That is a myth.

at first people tried to communicate by referring then they created symbols .they create it from the surrounding environment . like the chines and the pharaohs language
if you searched the history you will see that the English,French,German....etc were took from one language !!! its the Latin. as you know all this languages have the same letters with a small change in pronounce or adding some (accents/symbols)
