Just a few problems with the following! God should have known that they could not get to him behind the clouds with Brick and slime! And certainly his plan failed miserably because the entire earth is now dotted with sky scrapers! And what was he so afraid of? Didn't the writers know that you could only go so high without a supply of oxygen? Oh wait...they did not have a clue about oxygen! Now it makes more sense!
And who was Yahweh talking to? Himself I guess!
Oh and language has been studied by linguists and it is 100% sure that languages did not appear at the same time at a place called Shinar! Just another cute tale in a book of ancient tales by men who were ignorant of everything except eating and Fking.

Genesis 11:1-9
Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
11 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. |
