In "The Kingdom of Speech," Tom Wolfe Tells the Story of Evolution's Epic Tumble
EVOLUTIONNEWS.ORG -- The most distinctive thing about man is of course his gift for language. On that, the great Tom Wolfe masterfully explains in a new book out today [2016], Darwinism takes an epic tumble. Evolution cannot explain the very thing that preeminently makes us human. His focus is on the story of how evolution, from Darwin to Chomsky, came up short in explaining speech. He lets the implications of this speak for themselves. Chomsky himself was compelled to admit that after decades of his labor, "The evolution of the faculty of language largely remains an enigma". ...
160 years into Darwinism, there's one mystery we still can't explain
NATIONALPOST.COM -- Darwinism's puzzling Achilles' heel is its utter failure to account for, alone amongst the species, humans' large brains and capacity for both abstract thought and speech. Darwin knew this himself, of course. To this day, no Darwinist can explain humans' power of speech. In 2016, eight prominent academics, including the world's most famous linguist, Noam Chomsky, published an article admitting that 150 years after the Theory of Evolution was birthed, and following an "explosion of research" in the modern discipline of linguistics, they cannot explain where language comes from. Intellectuals may stamp their feet and clutch their pearls all they want, but the debate, for so long taboo, is on again. ...

[H/T MOHIB EBRAHIM] -- SCRAPSFROMTHELOFT.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Profoundly insightful and moving.] ARTICLE: "[What's said about me] isn't what my life is like at all. What my life is like is that wherever my wife and I go, literally--30-40, many countries. If I go down the street, or in an airport, or in a cafe, or n a movie theater, or in a mechanic's shop, someone comes up to me every 10 minutes, and says, 'I've been watching your YouTube videos or read your book, and was in this dreadful place six months ago.' Then they say, 'I've been trying to develop a vision for my life.' Or, 'I've been trying to take more responsibility, and it's really working. Things are way better. Thank you.'
