THE PARADIGMOF SCIENCE-RELIGION INTERCONNECTION IN THE STUDY OF LANGUAGE: THE CASE OF ORIGINS OF LANGUAGE
Abstract
Language is the most important single characteristic that distinguishes human beings from other animal species. Human language appears to be a unique phenomenon.The ability of┬á human to communicate with one another in intelligent, symbolic, often abstract speech and writing is considered as a complete mystery to evolutionists. Even, they are unable to elucidate how language origanated. The linguists, then, propose various theories on the origins of language. Unfortunately, there is also insufficient theory which explains not only how human speech came about, but also why there are many different languages which have been developed in the world. In the paradigm of science-religion interconnection, such case can be connected to the exploration of verses of QurÔÇÖan which discusses humanÔÇÖs language. As a permanent miracle which was revealed by God the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God upon him) during twenty-two years of MuhammadÔÇÖs messengership, the Holy QurÔÇÖan profoundly speaks about human linguistic communication. This discusses the theory of origins of human language based on perspective of QurÔÇÖan and science. The evidence conclusively implies that God creates humans with the unique ability in oral and written communication, and even teach them to speak.
