Great video! And important part of this interview.
I think this goes for all language, words in themselves are empty and have to be individually filled with meaning.
A great test would be to see if there is a difference between 1 egged twins and 2 egged twins in communication, do 1 egged twins at any time have to explain their words to the other twin or not?
If not, then it will be proof of the existence of a non-material storage of memory based on DNA. AKA.. god.
Another way to prove GOD is the knowledge of the future, a pure material world will never be able to produce knowledge of the future.
Bit off topic, but maybe someone needs to read it ^^
