It’s a real shock that in order to babel incoherently one must first shut down the brain.
The “Speaking in tongues” in Acts 2 by the Apostles of Jesus is VERY DIFFERENT from the babbling in tongues I hear from many churches today.
The apostles spoke in a KNOWN EARTHLY language they never learned before. For instance, if I don’t know Urdu, and I can suddenly speak it, THAT is the kind of miracle that was manifested in Acts 2.
What those who “speak in tongues” today tell me is that they are speaking in some unknown “heavenly” language.
Babbling brooks do just that. They babble.
That doesn’t make them prophetic.
No kidding.
It does not prove their claim that it's GOD doing it, however.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossolalia
Other religious groups have been observed to practice some form of theopneustic glossolalia. It is perhaps most commonly in Paganism, Shamanism, and other mediumistic religious practices.[59] In Japan, the God Light Association believed that glossolalia could cause adherents to recall past lives.[60]
Glossolalia has been postulated as an explanation for the Voynich manuscript.[61]
In the 19th century, Spiritism was developed by the work of Allan Kardec, and the phenomenon was seen as one of the self-evident manifestations of spirits. Spiritists argued that some cases were actually cases of xenoglossia.
