I don't think you fairly represent Chomsky's theories about language, nor do I think you really understand them. There's no magic, and there's nothing even remotely ridiculous about language between a genetically-encoded instinct. Human beings have evolved complex brain modules which allow us to rapidly acquire complex combinatorial language systems. Language is to humans as hunting is to lions: a highly-evolved, highly-adaptive instinct.
