Languages and the Creationist account.

It is commonly believed that the reason for the spread of this language is related to the domestication of the horse by its speakers and their expansion following a farming crisis in Neolithic Europe.

Horses are relatively recent and not seen in all places of geo-history. Language appears began silmutaniously, giving a certain kernal of mystery to the Genesis story of Babel. It does not appear language,a follow-up of speech attribute, was driven by any natural impacting factor other than an inherent trait in a recent or last specie of life forms. It appeared suddenly, bypassing the normal evolutionary tracks by its time factor appearance [the older species should have acquired language and speech first] and of its being unique to one specie only. Language does not appear connected with a superior brain or with the normal collection of all other life form communications.

the central problem is that Indo-European is too old for genesis.

If you mean the Hebrew bible, yes this is a late comer in the ancient world. However, I find it mysterious that Genesis depicts the history of modern man [speech endowed kind] with remarkable credibility. There is no other document which lists names, dates, places and events dating 5000 to 6000 years which matches Genesis. I know of no name, nation, city, king, monument, etc - older than that depicted in Genesis - there is no history beyond 6000.Edited by IamJoseph, : No reason given.
