Ok, so take us on the leap that will bring us home. How does animal communication suddenly jump to a fluency in a human language? There's nothing strange about that. It happens all the time. In fantasy land.OK... NOW we are talking. Let's look at it critically.
Do animals have a language by which they communicate by?
As you don't answer questions. Nice.That's nice, but time for a plot twist: I believe in God. I don't accept the Bible for the most part. Whether my picture of God is very Abrahamic is debatable.

If there IS a God, can He do what man does? Is it in the realm of possibility?

Yes.Numbers 22:28-30 New International Version (NIV)
28 Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?”
29 Balaam answered the donkey, “You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now.”
30 The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?”
“No,” he said.

Genesis 38:9-10 New International Version (NIV)
9 But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his [seed] on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother.10 What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also.

Yes.
Often it takes a lot of critical thinking, along with prayer and insight from the Holy Spirit, if one desires to get beyond superficial, surface reading and understand the point God is making in certain passages of the scriptures.
Maybe you can explain his post to me.I'm trying not to be overly expressive here, but:
Good lord.
Okay keep talking. Make your argument.
Maybe you can explain his post to me.
Yes.
Guys, Balaam could have been adopted when he was a kid by a tribe of donkeys and because of that he grew up speaking donkey. See it all can be explained rationally.
After reading it over a couple of times and knowing that he likes a literal view of things, I guess he is saying that God used Systran translation software so that Donkey could be translated into a language that Balaam spoke.I don't understand the language of it.
You are right. I have never considered the telepathic abilities of donkeys. That may be the case cracker.What if the donkey was telepathic? Have you guys ever thought of that? No.

When you think you are wealthy because you are a Christian and poor people are poor because their faith is weak or they want to be poor, a person has pretty much pitched critical thinking right out of the window.Yes what?
Critical thinking would lead you to another conclusion and some critical thinking on mythos and story telling. These fundamentalists are dumb as bloody dirt.
I do not understand what you are trying to say.
