Human language was not invented by man. Adam and Eve were able to communicate with God and with each other immediately. Thus it ought to be recognized as a gift and something for which we should be thankful.
Man has, however developed language. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that language has evolved - but not always positively. The value of language is its ability to express accurately and/or beautifully what the person intends. Common usage of language does not often achieve that end. That is why the "rules" of formal language are important.
