The Tower of Babel

[Chad32]

But the tower was built not long after the flood, where all the evil people were killed, so how could it have been that bad for them to unify? Maybe then, Yahweh wouldn't need to free the isrealites and send them to kill neighboring tribes.

Though this does bring up the issue that not only did the flood not do any good, but separating people didn't do any good either. Yahweh has such a great track record managing his flock, doesn't he?

lol... How many people do you think were on that ark?

the story of babble is in close proxcimity to the ark story in the book of genesis, but in reality the time between those two events was massive, maybe even a few dozen generations... That what it would take to populate a city from Noah's two sons, and their wives.

Eight people went on the ark, and I've heard the babel story was 150 years later. People back then had no sense of scale. In any case, my point was that the flood didn't seem to work to well at eradicating evil, if Yahweh thought them building the tower was such a bad idea, and confusing their language didn't seem to do any good either in the long run. You'd think an all knowing being would be able to fix the problem the first time.
