Anatomically, the tongue is still as much as it was millions of years ago. Ask any evolutionary biologist and they will tell you I am right. When it comes to its physiological nature however, it seems to me that much has changed. Humans have gone an extra mile of both creation and evolution to develop another organ akin to the tongue and which is immanent in virtually all aspects of life in recorded history. Now the baton has been passed to us. It is time we picked up the gauntlet and wrestled with the facts.
It is recorded that the tongue has caused complete conflagration of empires and people of great repute. It has made fools off the wise, timid off the brave, unscrupulous individuals off honorable men, and the loathed off the loved. Arguably, it is the tongue that brought the earth and the heavens to existence and seemingly the same will destroy them.
Join me on this exciting series as we sail from the depths of Greek mythology to Christian doctrine-ology, modern pedagogy to timeless axiology, and end on your preferred 'ology. This therefore marks the end of the Identity Series.
Finally, do not forget to read the continuation of Mr. A’s open letter on Thursday.
