In our recent history, we have gone from horse and buggy to the moon, in less than 100 years. Think of what America, Britain, Russia and Germany could of achieved had there been no world war, no language barrier, and they all pooled their resources into one big space program...
Heaven is not up in the sky, it is in another dimension.
Those people lived 600 years+ all spoke the same language, and were able to cooperate, in other words they were very, very smart, in so much that they were able to build a device to travel inter-dimensionally.
The word "Babel" means "gate of God".....
Do you really mean what it sounds like you mean? This god you've invented really is both all powerful and afraid of us? So afraid it needs to divide us by war? Rather sick and paranoid if you ask me. Especially sick if it's necessary to punish us for the resulting strife.
What it sounds like to me is the myths about other less mighty gods who might have some reason to fear people. It also sounds like a just so story to explain different languages.
The funny thing is that we know that languages naturally change over time and that any separation between groups means separation in language. No god required. Due to the printing press followed by ever increasing mass communication the differences between languages are shrinking rather than growing. Odd that god doesn’t appear to be afraid now. Or that he didn't murder the press, the radio, TV, or the Internet.
Might it be just a myth like the dome holding back the waters over our heads or Adam and Eve, or The Flood?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
