In recounting the myth of the evolution of mankind's history,
evolutionists encounter a number of serious problems. One is how

human consciousness emerged in the first place. Another concerns
the origin of speech—one characteristic that distinguishes human
beings from all other living creatures.
When we speak, we are able to shape our thoughts thanks to
language, and to express them in such a way that another party can
understand them. Although this requires highly specialized muscu-
lar movements of the lips, throat and tongue, we are hardly aware of
this. We merely "want" to speak. Sounds, syllables and words
emerge through the harmonious contraction and relaxation of some
100 different muscles, and sentences comprehensible to others are
formed by the appropriate sequences of such grammatical elements
as subject, object and pronoun. The fact that we do nothing more
than "wish" to use such an ability, based on such complex stages,
clearly shows that speech is not merely an ability that arises from es-
sential biological structures.
The human capacity for speech is an exceedingly complex phe-
nomenon that cannot be explained in terms of the imaginary re-
quirements or mechanisms of an evolutionary process. Despite
lengthy research, evolutionists have been unable to produce any ev-

idence that an exceedingly complex ability like speech evolved from
simple animal-like sounds. David Premack from Pennsylvania
