Evolutionists have long thought speech came about when we evolved the physical traits we need to form sounds. But new research shows monkeys are able to make all the same sounds we can. They even alter their calls to alert other monkeys of specific dangers.
Now, this communication ability is incredible. But you won’t catch a monkey reciting Shakespeare! Why? Because their brains aren’t wired for speech. Evolutionists now believe speech evolved after the brain was rewired.
Starting with the Bible, we know God created Adam and Eve to speak from the beginning. God’s design in monkeys is amazing—but it doesn’t include quoting poems!
