Why did God divide the people of Babel?

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."

**rolling eyes just remembering that conversation**

Your talking about languages that came much later, how do you know that these words were not added to these languages even after they were formed.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
