If adam and eve were created in gods image and told not to eat from the tree. Wouldn't this suggest the ability to communicate? What language was this in? Wouldn't we all speak the same language? Believe the same point of origin? Why such diversity in beliefs of the civilizations that we know from documentation of these people? Why Jesus, Moses, why not adam and eve? Why Christianity why not Islam? How can one be right?

Welcome to EvC,
Reading between the lines you seem to putting forward the notion that diverse beliefs and languages are contrary to the idea of a single point of origin. Are you prepared to defend this notion? Could you cite some support that two different ideas cannot originate from a single source idea?
I'm concerned that the nature of your scattergun series of questions might result in an unfocussed thread.
Further, are you looking for a Biblical discussion (such as the origin of diverse languages described in Genesis) or a scientific one (ideas cannot diversify from single point of origin and this disproves the Bible)?
IF you are unsure of what I'm asking of you feel free to ask. Some people recommend participating in existing threads before attempting to propose a new topic, helping to get an idea of what is expected here first. Either way, I hope you enjoy your stay, happy debating.

Yeh, I know it wasn't a focused topic for discussion. I was more ore less testing the water. I did search a lot in the forums on anything relating and did not find anything. I am not well read of the Bible, but at least did get a reference to Genesis to point me in a direction.

You can go back to the original post and edit it to make it a little more like an opening statement in a debate rather than a series of rhetorical questions, whenever you are ready to do so. I'd also be keen on a title change since I'm not entirely sure what it even means.
