I like your question but detest your ,humorous comments. The word of God/CHRIST is to them that perish foolishness(I CORINTHIANS 1:18)
The scriptures recorded that men were building a tower to reach God in millions of years ago, now the world was not as it is now , ask archaeologists and co. The truth is sometimes, biblical stories are rife with proverbial descriptions but that is not enough for your rather demeaning jest. keep hell out of your heart and come and see what matter in our generation.......what has been happening in the name of Jesus.

and that heaven must also have been geospatially rotating at the same rate as earth, but at a higher speed. Haha. God must be dizzy.

He answered it. Do a study on the history of the earth structure, you will discover the earth we are now is an entirely different earth (I SUGGEST YOU SPEND TIME ON DISCOVERY T.V CHANNELS). The earth changes probably to accomodate the population expansion. In those days, it was pohibited to reach the skies, perhaps, God didnt want them to see something. But this age, the earth has probably been restructure that the sky is now been acessible to men for reasons God know, but I tell you there is an extent to which the scietists can moven even now.

THIS IS WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO DO.HE WAS TRYING TO PLAY GOD MEANING HE WAS TRYING TO GET THE PEOPLE TO BUILD HIM UP TO HEAVEN. WHO IS IN HEAVEN ? GOD.

So inventing headache inducing languages is supposed to force us to worship him only? Jealousy too bad. Your god needs to pray to his son to cure him of the spirit of envy and jealousy.

HE DIDNT ASK TO BE WORSHIPPED AT THAT POINT HE HAD GIVEN THE WORLD TO THE GENTILES TO RULE EACH OTHER IN WICKEDNESS. ANCIENT BABYLONIA, THE KINGDOM OF NIMROD WAS THE FIRST GENTILE EMPIRE OUT OF THE GATE

HEBREW. CONFUSING THEIR LANGUAGE JUST MEANS HE PUT AN ENMITY BETWEEN MEN SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT AGREE WITH EACH OTHER. YOU 'HEAR' WITH YOUR MIND. WHEN YOU MAKE IT THAT PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER IT MEANS PEOPLE DONT AGREE WITH EACH OTHER. CONFUSING THEIR LANGUAGE MEANS HAVING DIFFERENT MINDSETS, DIFFERENT DOCTRINES AND BELIEFS SO THEY CANT HEAR EACH OTHER. THEY CANT RELATE TO EACH OTHER

Quite an interesting question. However it seems your aim is not to know but to boast in your limited understanding. Lest you celebrate folly it is important to clarify a few things for you.

The word heaven in old english translations of scriptures could mean three things in mordern english

1. Sky ( or clouds)

2. Outer space

3. Heaven ( the abode of God)

Historians are aware that the story in genesis was recorded in other ancient texts not in the bible, and sometimes more detailed that what you read in the various types of bibles around.

Ancient texts including the bible recognise the existence of God and other beings including angels, demons, Satan, seraphim, Cherubims etc. The thinking that only man exist has driven you to this path of ridicule. Even modern scientists are now agreeing with the ancients that we may not be the only beings in the solar system.

In the account of Babel in Genesis, Humans decided to make a city for themselves, hence did not want to spread across the face of the earth, and He who gave them speech decided to confuse them. They wanted to build their city to the skies in the hope of seeing God. The book of Jasher puts it thus:

[b] And when they were building they built themselves a great city and a very high and strong tower; and on account of its height the mortar and bricks did not reach the builders in their ascent to it, until those who went up had completed a full year, and after that, they reached to the builders and gave them the mortar and the bricks; thus was it done daily.And behold these ascended and others descended the whole day; and if a brick should fall from their hands and get broken, they would all weep over it, and if a man fell and died, none of them would look at him. And the Lord smote the three divisions that were there, and he punished them according to their works and designs; those who said, We will ascend to heaven and serve our gods, became like apes and elephants; and those who said, We will smite the heaven with arrows, the Lord killed them, one man through the hand of his neighbor; and the third division of those who said, We will ascend to heaven and fight against him, the Lord scattered them throughout the earth. And they ceased building the city and the tower; therefore he called that place Babel, for there the Lord confounded the Language of the whole earth; behold it was at the east of the land of Shinar.[/b] - Jasher Chapter 9( some verses)


If you read the books of Enoch and Noah you will read about the heaven ( where God lives) and the heaven ( outer space where the luminaries dwell).

Your reference to the Americans and the Russians show how very limited you are in the understanding of God or the universe both from the spiritual and scientific perspectives.

The bible doesn't contain all things that ever happened as it admitted in John 21: 25

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

However everything it says are true. Men may try to twist things to feel good but the bible is accurate on recorded history e.g it says Sinai is in Arabia (Galatians 4: 25), today many say Sinai is in Egypt. However evidences suggest that mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia just as the bible says.

Speak to an historian before revelling in your slander. Shalom!
