Even if your magic comes from God, it's still magic.  If you pray for rain
and get it, do you also say that the water isn't water in the same way that
magic isn't magic?

Ah.  Myself, I'm still amazed that people can look at, say, the origin
of languages, and say we got it from imitating animals, or from a need
to "socialize", or something else equally inane and unlikely.  Sorry
folks, languages *simplify* over time.

Yes, they do.  So?  So languages started complex.  You're obviously trying
to say that grunts and groans aren't complex, but you're not thinking it
through.

A language with, say, 1000 nouns and 26 genders is pretty complex.  That's
26 rules to know.  If it had fewer genders it'd be less complex.

So what would be _more_ complex?  The _most_ complex you could get is to have
1000 nouns and 1000 "genders"--1000 rules which apply to one noun each.  Which
is of course exactly what you'll get if language _does_ start as a series of
sounds completely unrelated to one another.

You seem to think "it doesn't have rules" means "simple".  Sorry.  "There is
no rule because words are not inflected" is simple.  "There is no rule
because each word is inflected in a different way" is complex--that's no
_general_ rules, but there is a specific and unique rule for each word.

Of course, grunts and groans are simple in the sense that they are part of
a smaller vocabulary, but languages don't simplify over time with respect
to vocabulary.
