Thinking about the Tongue

Sunday's teaching went well. There was some good discussion during and after the gathering. One of the community came up to me afterward to share some of his ideas and thoughts on the James 3. He was not sure why he was doing this after worship instead of during, but nonetheless I am glad he did.
He was mulling over analogies of the tongue and came up with two that were good. The first was the tongue can be like the wind. It can either fan the flame of a spark and grow it into a raging fire or it can blow seed and spread new life.
In the second analogy he referenced those passages in Scripture talking about nature praising God and giving testament to his character (Job 38:7; Ps. 19:1, 50:6, 147:4, 148:1-6; Luke 19:40; Rom. 1:19-20). He spoke about how we as Christ followers could speak in harmony with the chorus nature sings or we would contradict the testimony of nature in what we say.
The vision I had when he was talking was of two set of sound waves. When we use our words in accord with the message of nature, let that be literal or metaphorical, both sets of waves travel together in harmony. When we speak, active or think antithetically to creation, it is as if our words move crosswise and against nature. Again, I envisaged a cross hatch or weave pattern where the two sets of waves travel in different directions.
For me this sparked thoughts of not only casual speech, but also of preaching. Thinking about this left me with some questions I am toying with:

1. Does all creation give praise? What has the fall done to the message of nature?
   
2. What is the nature of the testimony of creation? Does creation praise in some way we are unable to "hear" due to the fall? Are the writers of Scripture only referring to how creation's beauty, design and complexity reveal God?
3. Is there a way to know what creation "says" about God?
4. Can our speech match with creation, thus be in harmony?
5. Does this idea presuppose a Correspondence Theory of truth?
   
6. What implications does this idea have for the whole of Christian living?
7. I'm I just nuts for even thinking of this stuff?

Gotta think more about this.

Thanks Chadwick for the great ideas!
