1. OK. Well here's a chart showing the evolution of English:
I'll even throw in a chart of the evolution of programming languages :P
It's clear that languages descend from others, through a change of population, culture, isolation, and through a change in time. Languages didn't just come about spontaneuously. Also, when we speak of language, are we speaking of dialects too? What about Internet slang dialect (lol, YOLO, swag, lmao, leetspeak, etc.). Internet dialect is probably something you've observed yourself, and somehow I doubt you'll agree that it was the result of a god. The Tower of Babel story of languages forming spontaneuously is almost certainly a myth. With a kernal of truth however. The tower itself is real and incomplete, and IIRC the Mesopotamian language at the time was lost, which also stunted education. But it doesn't go further than that.
2. If you don't know what the hell his will is, I don't see how you could do it even if you believe and you're a good person. If you've never been told what to do, how do you expect to follow some kind of will for ~80 years (or whatever your lifespan is)? Unless his will is very vague and really only amounts to things like "go to church, worship/believe in me, be good to others, try not to sin if you can". But the Christian idea seems to be that his plan for individuals is more specific than that.
I understood what you said about sin and free will clearly. If the ability to sin is necessary for free will, and there is no sin in heaven, then you don't have free will in heaven. This is the third time I've repeated this and I really don't know how else to say it.

1. That still doesn't mean, if a God existed, he couldn't change people's speeches. Put it this way; Let's say there is a God. What would stop him from being able to change the way people speak?
2. Anyone who doesn't come to Christ won't even do God's will in the first place, if they knew what it was. They'd either not believe it was from God, or not do it. For people that do come to him, God will tell them his will.
3. You should stop repeating it, I've already told you that that isn't how it works. Look at the definition of free will: "The power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act on one's own discretion.". Going by that, it means that free will does not always involve sin. For example, one person can be unsure of what new Chruch they want to go to, so they reseached 2 of them, and chose the best one. So, could they act on their own discretion? Yes. In Heaven, the people that are there are not going to have the temptation to sin, because, the only reason Satan/Demons tempt you is so you can go to Hell, so it would be irrelevent to tempt someone in Heaven, not to mention that they were kicked out of Heaven. But, there is still free will, because you can make choices (Not as important, clearly. But nevertheless they are still making choices) based on your own discretion.
