Like a philosopher? Do we really know where our language came from? Could one man make up everything and get away with never being recognized? I mean I am a christion so I fear asking into much detail cuz the bible would have to be involved is this case?

You would probably be interested in reading The Great Ideas by Mortimer Adler. It is a discussion of some of the most fundamental aspects of Western society, including their origins.

If you believe in the Bible, whoz to say that somebody didn't create God and gave God the wonderful task of taking care of Earth. If that's the case, God is in a world of trouble.
Like one once said.. it's a huge universe - if we're the only ones, it'd be an awful waste of space.
If you believe God and the Bible are all that exist, I'm fairly certain from Sunday school that God only spent six days creating everything and rested on the seventh day. I find this very easy to believe to be truthful in nature. However, I don't believe it to be the truth.
Scientific evidence proves many things - one of which is that the arc and this huge world flood, probably only happened in one city where a river flooded everything. The entire Bible makes sense if you look at it as just a little portion of the entire Earth with a few people with a few short stories and a whole lot of weed or something.
I believe in a superior... but with all the religions and beliefs.. I find the Bible and Christianity to not be the most believable. I wish I was smart enough and had enough time and resources to research all the religions and come to a conclusion of my own. But that's not the case, so I just treat people with respect and do what I think is right. That's about the best I can do.
I also wish I was smart enough and had time enough to read and understand the original Bible that hasn't been edited and translated over and over. I've heard that some things are actually omitted because of how horrible they are.
Keep your faith though.. it's a good thing to have something you believe in strongly about. Makes you a good person :)

no. Our way of living took 100's of years and thousands of people.
Just look at how difficult it is to build a modern society in developing countries. Even for hard-working Japanese it took like 50 years.
