Um, are you trying to explain to a Christian what his theology is
supposed to be?

No, I'm trying to explain what your English is supposed to be.  We don't
have special words or phrases to express the idea "George Bush vomits" that
we refuse to use to refer to you or I vomiting.  Why do you insist
that people do this when the actions are being performed by God?

I never disagreed that they weren't.  Someone else said that they were
"magick", and I disagreed.

You're also not recognizing the difference between "we can trace back
details only that far" and "languages only existed that far".  Also, they
haven't all been traced to the same part of the world.

Oh?  Last I'd heard, they *had* all been traced back to the middle east
somewhere.  At least, all the language families that are in existence
today.
