Collaboration notes:
The Argument from Language. The best work on this is Jeffery Johnson & Joyclynn Potter, “The Argument from Language and the Existence of God,” Journal of Religion 85/1 (2005), pp. 83-93. Also John Oller Jr. & John Omdahl, “Origin of the Human Language Capacity: In Whose Image?” in J. P. Moreland (ed.), The Creation Hypothesis (IVP, 1994), pp. 235-269. Significantly less rigorous–but can be mentioned for reference’s sake–are: Brad Harrub, Dave Miller, & Bert Thompson, “The Origin of Language and Communication,” Reason & Revelation 22/8 (2002), pp. 57-63 and James Bohn, “Beyond the Fire of Prometheus: The Capacity for Human Speech – Empirical Evidence of the Image of God,” Quodlibet Journal 4/2-3 (2002).
