Bible says God confused peoples languages at Babel....is this childish nonsense?

Witness 007

Yeah so in Genesis we read how people began building a tower which would reach up to Jehovah in heaven....must have been damn tall....rather then just stop them, God changes everyones language.....one guys speakin French.....another speakin Russian and so on! Can't finish the tower now can they!!

This is not very scientific......does anyone believe this is how languages got started??? And does this account show that God does not want us to build cities and mega structures like the Watchtower does?

notverylikely

So...no. Besides which, French is a relatively new language.

May as well ask, "Did the Fairy Godmother REALLY turn a pumpkin into a coach that turned back into a pumpkin at midnight?"

And four white mice will never be four white horses.

Such fol-de-rol and fiddle dee dee of courses.

But the world is full

of zanies and fools

who don't believe in sensible rules

and won't believe what sensible people say..

and because these daft

and dewey eyed dopes

keep building up

impossible hopes

impossible things are happening every day!

It goes along with the satan lie oh it was actually god that lied thing. I always said (since my awakening) That you cant get out of the book of genesis without finding contradictions.

Uh..007....it's true.

It was a cell tower. And there was an EMP attack.

Wouldn't that leave us in utter confusion today? History repeats itself.

Good discussion on the topic.

The three major "Talking Snake" religions - Judaism, Christianity and Muslims - will be very angry that you dare to criticise Holy Scripture as unscientific. Be very, very careful: In this world it ain't God's vengeance you need worry about, but his mad-minded followers.

EndofMysteries

Man was told to 'spread throughout the earth'. They tried to stay in that one spot and not move, that is my understanding of why the languages were confused.

ALSO..............this is just going into intuition........We see how ancient civilizations, Egypt, etc, were far advanced in understanding of math and science. God has a time set for things to happen, so could be man was so quickly advancing, he did that as well to knock them back a few thousand years.

Look at us today.........the world's knowledge and skill with technology, combined. We are now entering the point of time which may have happened if the languages were not confused.

The appointed time for all which he wanted to transpire prior to that is just about finished.
