Mogui, I think the whole world should NOT start speaking English, and it saddens me that it is. If the whole world spoke English, the individual cultures would be destroyed.
You mention evolution. Evolution is fundamentally based on diversity, and diversity of cultures has been the driving force of the evolution of civilization. While Europeans were in the dark ages, Arabs were preserving mathematics. While the Arabs were turning despotic, France and America were build democracies. Etc, etc, etc. The loss of diversity would be tragic simply in terms of aesthetics, but it would also stop civilization cold.
The bible even has a story about how god very specifically did not want the world to all start speaking the same language and all say the same things.
