origin of the capacity for speech is perfectly clear. It is Almighty God
Who bestows this ability on Man. God inspires speech in human be-

Qur'an:
. . . They will reply, "God gave us speech as He has given
speech to everything. He created you in the first place and
you will be returned to Him." (Qur'an, 41:21)
In the same way that evolutionists are unable to account for the
complexity of the biological structures that enable speech, they are
also unable to explain the origin of the consciousness that makes lan-
guage possible. Human consciousness and the complexities of lan-
guage show that language was created by a superior Intelligence
that belongs to Almighty God, our Lord.
