As a christian, how did you handle the problems with the Tower of Babel?

RE: As a christian, how did you handle the problems with the Tower of Babel?
'Dric Wrote:Again you have added the commentary. No where even in you perferred version does it say God was worried that they would make it to Heaven. It simply shows a concern God had for the collabertive effort these men would accomplish. (Verse 6 spell the whole thing out for you)

Now if you take what was written and THEN look at what is known now, one can see God was not worried about man building a physical tower to heaven, as 'Heaven" is not a city in the clouds. That forced a thinking mind to stay with in the context of the story itself. In that God's concern was about the collaberation of Man. (As the either account states)

Can you elaborate on why God was concerned? God knows everything and is all powerful, so how can the collaborative efforts of man possibly concern him? Also, if man was attempting to build a tower to heaven, and God knew that they would never make it, wouldn't it make more sense to just let them fail and see the folly of their ways?
