Why did God divide the people of Babel?

[Cinjin]

Another point about the Babel effect:

If the god of israel did indeed change all the languages at the exact same time in the exact same place then there shouldn't be words missing out of a race's language. For instance there are many things/concepts that native americans, asians, native australians, etc, etc, do not have words for that the English and French and others do. This would not be the case. If god changed your language without changing your free will and the way your entire mind worked - every language would have still had words for all things considered ... and they do not.

I asked my father to explain this phenomenon once and of course, being a devout fundamentalist, he could not.

I believe his answer was: "I don't pretend to know the master plan of the one almighty god."
