I marvel at language too, but for the exact opposite reason. I feel like we really DON'T comprehend almost anything that language means. For the most part, only the very basic things in life are regulated to NOT being debated about in terms of definitions of the language (i.e. - nouns [people, places, things]). This is because language is really just a system of symbols for things in life. However, when those things aren't necessarily tangible, but still exist, language has a hard time of being concrete. Have you ever noticed how easy it is to get into a misunderstanding from typing online with someone? To me, that means our language isn't the best for transferring ideas in itself. You also need tone of voice, body language, facial expressions, ect. to piece the puzzle together of what the true meaning of something said was. Even then, think of how legal definitions change all the time, because someone pushes the boundaries of what a term's true definition is. This also happens a lot of times in philosophy as well. In my opinion, we have a lack of understanding when it comes to language, even though it's been our base form of expression and communication for thousands of years.
You ever considered the fact that NOBODY knows why we're here?

so you're not interested in science or mathematics o? concepts like that are in many cases the stimuli of this type of thought, my friend. if you decide to ignore the complexity of life because it feels like it inconveniences you just understand that you are scientifically a fool. A big one at that, o.

NO, BROTHER! EVERYTHING HAS TO HAVE A CAUSE! WHY WOULD GOD BE EXEMPT FROM THIS RULE, DUUUUDE? AND DON'T TELL THE HULKSTER "JUST BECAUSE" BROTHER!
It seems like you know already, o.
But my opinion on the matter is what I gain from common sense, o. God is the Creator, o. What is the cause for any creator? The need for creation, o. If I am a light creator, my cause is darkness, o. Since God created everything, his cause is nothing, o. According to the logic of Ugochukwunwankwoombadiwe Ogugwa.
Technically speaking, human beings are made of star dust from the beginnings of the universe. So, I guess if you look at it that way, you could say that since we're conscious, the universe itself is too via us.
