The purpose of the story is as an explanation of the many languages spoken by people.
It's a "Just So" story, as are so many others in the Bible.
nuupe. might want to google it chas. 480ft make it 48 stories, as a story is about 10 feet.
A wood frame house story is about 10 ft. A steel frame skyscraper has 15 ft. stories.

The second quote is a matter of opinion, and failure of acceptance. I'll admit I didn't read the whole thread. Glad to provide you with so much laughter.

Chas, Drich believes the first thing he reads with no critical thinking at all.
10 foot stories! For dwarves maybe! Has he ever heard of floor structure? My 3 story house is over 13 feet per story and it is wood construction. What a dingbat!
I'd love to see a brick structure before the days of reinforced steel with multiple floors of 10 ft height. That would be so funny.

Yeah, he is probably thinking of modern-day tenement buildings. God confused the language of the people building the Ghetto of Babel, apparently.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

So you think god plagerized?! Did he violate some other god's patent? Inquiring minds want to know!

Nope, cause a non-existent being can't plagiarize another non-existent being. Merely pointing out yet another inconsistency

You might want to find a more reliable source. Typical floor heights in skyscraper construction are between 12 and 15 feet.
Steel and structurally reinforced concrete maybe, now tell us how thick it would have to be to create the floors out of mud brick or Unreinforced "Roman concrete." The floor structure itself would have to be at least ten feet.
Drich needs to tell us how this tower could have been been constructed without using modern materials. Otherwise, he should stick to playing gin rummy with his imaginary friend jesus.
