HH: This thinking follows a sort of developmental, evolutionary model for language, but the Genesis record shows Adam speaking from the very first day, and many languages sprang up instantly at the tower of Babel. So language was apparently given to us wholecloth. Of course there has been evolutionary development since that time.

If you like, Harold, what Adam and Eve spoke in Eden was Nostratic, which split into various language families at Babel. This is not of course how the linguists present things, but there is nothing in their theories to conflict with the Eden and Babel stories taken literally.
