This post is about language acquisition.
I just got done taking a linguistics class at college, they pushed Chomsky quite a bit. If you're familiar with Chomsky, then you know he's an evolutionist and one of the leading linguistics who has ever lived (that's what he's touted as anyway).
One of his assertions is that language acquisition is genetically linked to who we are as humans.
I'm curious about what a Christian response would be to Chomsky's ideas.
Since it seems that Chomsky would assert that language acquisition is the product of some purely physical mechanism in the brain, how would you answer his assertion?
Do you know of any scholarly Christian responses to Chomsky's works??
Thanks for your help
