Why was the Tower of Babel so bad that God scattered all of humanity to prevent its completion
Surely with the internet and science today humankind is doing similar things to the literal reading of the passages.
Sharing of information. Language is no longer a barrier . buidlings reaching into the heavens much higher than ever before.
So what is the real reason God did this back then and never again ?
Have you head that expression : you don’t know what you have until you lose it?
Well in this case how do you even know that people in the past were dumber than you?
Because even today, with all of our illusion of superior technological advancements we still can’t build a pyramid in Giza!
And I’m not the one who’s saying this but the construction and other experts who ask this same question!
They’ve run calculations and models and they say that even today this is an almost impossible task.
We’re put in an impossible situation with no awareness of the past and no sense of the future.
All we need is a little faith to “touch” God and receive Him in our hearts so we can understand that true Wisdom and Knowledge belongs to Him not us.
To answer your question, Maybe the Tower of Babel did something a lot worse technologically than our perceived technology today.
Because besides the pyramids, archeologists have found even older civilizations which rewrites what we know about history and the progress of human species and the technological advancements of the past which we can’t replicate today apparently with all our cool gadgets.
So the people in the past are not so dumb as we’d like to make them. But we like to make them dumb because we have no idea of the past and of course most people don’t know what they have until they lose it so they can appreciate it .
Again we’re in an impossible situation so we can act on faith and walk with a little faith.
Just a little that’s all is required of us.
