Actually, according to the Bible, people were talking many other languages before the tower of Babel incident:

By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands, every one after his tongue. Genesis 10:5

These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues. Genesis 10:20

These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues. Genesis 10:31
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

What you're doing is misinterpreting the scripture, what you reference is the bible telling where Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans descended from Chronologically, It's basically laying out the whole history of where every nation descended from, you'd see that if you kept the scriptures in context.

Disproving Odin by attempting to prove god. Talk about your one trick pony.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Yeah Huggy dismisses Odin because he is derived and familiar from other religions, while Jesus who never said anything that wasn't already in OT or some other book is apparently genuine with his life and death that has been done to death in other religions. I mean virgin birth, son of god, turning wine into blood, having apostles, death and resurrection are nothing new in 30 CE.

No, my argument is that Odin is a myth formed from older myths... The city of Babel existed... Their mythology also existed... That mythology was incorporated into Norse mythology. Therefore since Norse mythology is in no way original, it cannot be the truth, making Odin not real.

Got it?

Evidence does not equate to proof.
