megasoul: Wow, this analysis is deep and have scientific backing. It actually throw some doubt on the biblical story. The word "up" is relative to where you are on the earth surface. It saddens me deeply when folks come and be giving gibberish explanations to what they clearly dont understand. This story if it is true, is nothing but an allegory. I am a Civil/Structural engineer, i can tell you boldly that the load that will be created by such gigantic structure will be too much for the soil on which the structure would be standing. The failure of such structure at a no distant point is therefore inevitable. God clearly understood all these my explanation and wouldnt have been bothered by the people's attempts. One thing is clear, both Islam and Christianity does not, by any stretch of imagination capture the true nature and extent of the being called God. Each world religion sees a part of him he chose to reveal to them. it will therefore be a great insult to localise the being called God to the myopic parlance of Christianity, Islam or any other religion for that matter. God by virtue of his existence transcends such. He created all and is for all. 3 Likes |

Akoja360: You spoke my mind. I believe the op couldn't see the possibility of the ancient constructing such a building (or even a skyscraper). Maybe when he takes his time to do some research on these mind blogging pyramids of the ancient he might have some reorientation of the ability (architecturally and otherwise) of these men of old that is still making experts in the 21st century feel backward in terms of technology. 3 Likes |

zed7: First and foremost, mankind wasn't as advanced as we are today and probably thought it was possible. Why was God against the tower? It would frustrate the command at Genesis 1:28,"Be fruitful and become many. Fill the earth and subdue it." That tower would gave frustrated that command to "fill" the earth. Most importantly, is the story even true? Does it have any element of truth in it? Does it not sound like a fairytale? Please google ,"deluge myth all over the world" Google "origin of different language myths" You'd marvel at what you find!! Thank me later |

DLuciano:of course, science is limited it doesn't know everything that's why we have things like research you say God[Yahweh] is omniscient right? let's look at the definition first... Omniscience /ɒmˈnɪʃəns/,[1] mainly in religion, is the capacity to know everything that there is to know. Now tell me if God[yahweh] knows everything doesn't that violate your freewill? |

Obviously the creator of the "tower of babel" legend intended it to explain the obvious differences in language and culture among humans. It is quite plausible that the legend didn't emanate from the nomadic Hebrews but rather from Mesopotamia where the story is set. This is likely so as there is evidence of similar stories among other surrounding cultures. To a modern fellow, who has received even a modest level of education, it should sound absurd to think that a god who created the entire universe should squabble about bronze age men attempting to build a skyscraper. Some have said the construction was not the point of god's issues but rather the likelihood that these folks will fail to spread out to cover the Earth. This point is DOA, if you know what I mean. What building, with what tools, could bronze age men have built that would have continued to house the entire humanity continuously without the need for migration at some point? Also, the people involved in this construction couldn't have been the entire Earth population. This story is situated at about 6,000yrs ago in the Euphrates valley and at this time, the upper kingdom in Egypt had started building pyramids and the Chinese already had a great kingdom! So what exactly was god afraid of again? There is no veracity to this story as there isn't for much of the stories and poetic renditions you read in both the kuran and the bible. You either accept these faiths blindly or you retain your sanity besides them. 2 Likes |

Hi, Kindly check this guy out via YouTube (Rob Skiba). He's a researcher and believer, but l would implore you to check out this link too, in regards to what actually took place in the garden of Eden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jloDGoqK3p8 All the characters or beings that were mentioned in "Clash of the Titans" actually existed, as a result of 2 classes of fallen angels ( Watchers + Satan/his cohorts) mating with earthly women. The Bible called them "Men of Reknown"....Rob Skiba had done an extensive research into these questions you've raised. You may also do yours, provided you've got the time. God bless you! |

In those days God was closer to man, God lives in heaven and man believed that the skies we see is were God actually leaves but the sky isn't heaven... God divided them and caused confusion among them because whatever man proposed in his heart, as long as they are in unity, they will accomplish it. Kind of like Nigeria if only we can be in unity then and only then can there be progress, the enemies know this that's why they have sowed division amongst us. 1 Like |

Deicide:My friend, God who made the heavens and the earth is the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, His knowledge is unsearchable. He is the beginning and ending, He is the only wise, He is the ancient of days. Worship him today all ye that has breath. Logic, philosophy, intellect and traditions of men cannot explain or give you knowledge of God, except you surrender your logics and all of that and believe that God created you and that He is the Almighty, and accept Jesus Christ His son as Lord and Savior, then shall you receive the light of God and be delivered from gross darkness and every lies of the devil. |

Tortoise shell was originally smooth. In those days, he (tortoise) used to attend parties with birds in the sky beyond. he bleeped up on a particular occasion and the birds took back the feathers donated to him. he had no option than to jump from the sky Mr tortoise shell was shattered (he was lucky to be alive) his wife being a plastic surgeon gathered the pieces and fix them. that is the story behind the rough shell broda tortoise carries today. Those who care can go back and read the story, "tower of babel". See if there is any difference. I am sure if the above fable find its way into the bible or any sacred (as claimed), ... your guess is as good as mine. To be a fool, you need to be educated. keep your whatever religion, but never let go your sense of reasoning. |
