Again.

They were building a tower, not the USS Enterprise E.

This is a tower:



and this is a starship:



One's technologically advanced, the other is incredibly primitive. Take your pick.

If God decides what's "too fast", and he deems a tower "too fast", then we're smegged.

Well, let's not go nuts here - we're debating one person's hypothesis on what the Tower of Babel was, and I suspect it's a stretch at best.

ETA: I do love the "literalism" rearing its entertaining head yet again.

I should make a "literalist"-English dictionary.

Entries so far include:

"very good" = perfect
"tower" = INTERSTELLAR WARP DRIVE SPACECRAFT!!!!!1one
well of course! don't you know words magically mean anything i want them to mean, even tower becoming rocket?
personally i think it was a stargate! i just hope the goa'uld don't get us

humanity also has reached the heights... of its kind:
No-abortions, No-killing, No-murder, No-suffering, No-suicide, No-war, No-death\ ---
only
Peaceful, Thankful, Hope
ful, Joyful, Youthful, Cheerful, & Helpful, yes
each
of earth's billions of individuals choose living these qualities, because humanity "works together", which people evidence this?

Thankfully, our God is, and Creates/Rules as a GOD-of-Love... Remember this.

Easily answered.

Often societies that never saw a bible, had good morals.

Often societies which had bibles managed to kill, steal, rape, lie, ...


That is, societies without bibles can act with good morals. Societies with bibles can act with bad morals.


You only have to read a bit of history to find this out.

i'd love to hear how that happened, did god give you a vision like paul? did you have an NDE?
i really can honestly say i don't believe you, being that you use every name given to jesus ever and jesus seems to have only given one person ever a vision of himself, without them ever reading or hearing some sort of story about jesus.
that was paul of course.
twice dishonesty:
First you say: " i'd love to hear how that happened".
Then you say: " i really can honestly say i don't believe you"

I've never claimed God/Jesus giving me, any more visions than He Himself gave you, or any other of His Created children.
I am a simple child of His, one of God's Eternally-beloved children...
and No 'nde' either.

For Truth: (not cognizant of a 'Bible'), with God's loving pre-mortal imprinting/programming - I simply re-connected, and
followed... , as can you, as can any other of God's children... This choice of Allowing...God/Jesus to save you, remains yours!

What's your point? Everything evolutionists believe in hinges on a single book as well - considering how Chamber's Vestiges was soundly trashed by the establishment, there's no chance that evolution would be trendy today without the publication of Origin.

Trashed by the establishment, including the church, I notice. But what's new there, eh?
