Is everyone in hell?

What claim was I making?

Whatever it is you're claiming that suggests the non-validity of the Scriptures.

Though you "safely" pose your arguments as questions - there's no denying the suggestion you're trying to make.

So you're saying before language was even invented by humans... That those primitive early people 100,000+ years ago had faith in God?

That doesn't even make sense.

Not if you believe the Scriptures.

Language was not invented by man. Language came with man.

Using biblical terminology, Lieberman had written a year earlier: ‘For with speech came a capacity for thought that had never existed before, and that has transformed the world. In the beginning was the word’.^[14]

When God created the first human beings—Adam and Eve—He created them in His own image (Genesis 1:26-27). This likeness unquestionably included the ability to engage in intelligible speech via human language. In fact, God spoke to them from the very beginning of their existence as humans (Genesis 1:28-30). Hence, they possessed the ability to understand verbal communication—and to speak themselves!

God gave very specific instructions to the man before the woman was even created (Genesis 2:15-17). Adam gave names to the animals before the creation of Eve (Genesis 2:19-20). Since both the man and the woman were created on the sixth day, the creation of the man preceded the creation of the woman by only hours. So, Adam had the ability to speak on the very day that he was brought into existence!

In fact,

What events transpired that have allowed humans to speak, while animals remain silent?

If we are to believe the evolutionary teaching currently taking place in colleges and universities around the world, speech evolved as a natural process over time. Yet no one is quite sure how, and there are no known animals that are in a transition phase from non-speaking to speaking.

In fact, in the Atlas of Languages, this remarkable admission can be found: ‘No languageless community has ever been found’.^[5]

This represents no small problem for evolution.

In fact, the origin of speech and language (along with the development of sex and reproduction) remains one of the most significant hurdles in evolutionary theory, even in the twenty-first century.

Actually, according to study, we are born believers in God.

Children are born believers in God, academic claims

Children are "born believers" in God and do not simply acquire religious beliefs through indoctrination, according to an academic.

Dr Justin Barrett, a senior researcher at the University of Oxford's Centre for Anthropology and Mind, claims that young people have a predisposition to believe in a supreme being because they assume that everything in the world was created with a purpose.

He says that young children have faith even when they have not been taught about it by family or at school, and argues that even those raised alone on a desert island would come to believe in God.

Language has nothing to do with it.

Kids believe in magic. This is why they have such fun talking to their imaginary friends, their teddies, their dolls. Some adults take that belief in magic and transfer to a socially acceptable concept called "God". They can still talk to their imaginary friend, or maybe an icon of some kind, and not be considered mentally ill.

Hell's more fun anyway. I saw it on South Park.

I believe that in hell one should be able to party pretty much all of the time. There must be a lot of pubs and night clubs and casinos and plenty of loose women around to pass the time away. One should never get bored unless one was sent there by mistake, like a muslim or preacher, then life will probably be pretty much rough for them. Tending sheep and lying down with lions and gardening all day has to become pretty much boring after say a million years or so. I wonder if hell has nice golf course's, and great beaches? And from my understanding, it is suppose to be pretty warm all year round in Hell. Now that works for me.

I didn't make a claim. You seem to be following a different conversation.

Though you "safely" pose your arguments as questions - there's no denying the suggestion you're trying to make.

What suggestion am I making by asking questions?

Not if you believe the Scriptures.

Language was not invented by man. Language came with man.

Of course language was invented by humans.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language#Origin

I don't believe scriptures a reliable source of information in this regard. They were made before humans had the ability to study the origins of language. It doesn't make any plausible sense that language suddenly popped into existence 200,000 years ago as humans evolved.

Actually, according to study, we are born believers in God.

Study? No. According to some religious beliefs maybe... But no reputable study shows that babies believe in God. That's just silly actually.

Are they born believing in the Abrahamic god or another god they are forbidden by the commandments from believing in?

Pushing religion on children is child abuse.

Born Christian? Impossible.

Some people are selling locations on the Moon and the Sun for speculators. They try to survey with theorical tools those land pieces to make the process look more credible. The register is located in San Francisco if you are interested.

The number of humans born since 1900 is about or maybe already higher than the sum of all humans in history. So I heard of, don't quote me on that.

Therefore, both heaven and hell might not have enough room in a nearby future. So who is with me to notary room in both environments? The speculation will be skyrocketing. I will try to negociate a good royalties with God and Lucifer. The competition between the two of them should regulate the market. Capitalism is blessed.
