+524 At times you have wondered how the hell languages were first created when there weren't words for people to know that they have a mutual understanding of what something means, amirite?

The same answer to everything bad-ass Christian kids put! GOD DID IT! Yes, only the bad-ass Christians do that.

Yea according to the Bible God made us all have different languages cause these dudes were making a tall ass building and God was like HOLY ME WHAT IF THEY FIND MY KINGDOM??? Which is find funny since he was okay with us all flying to the moon and making skyscrapers but oh hell no to some dudes building something that was probably sub standard in size to what we build today.

That's not why he stopped them. How about reading it before talking about it? The people said, "Come, let's build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world." They didn't say, "Let's build a tower to reach heaven." But God said, "Look! the people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them! Come, let's go down and confuse the people with different languages." He wasn't worried about them reaching heaven. That's not even possible. Heaven's not a place reachable by distance.

"Look! the people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them!" That he would look at this and say that it needs to be stopped. That just sounds terrible to me.

It's because he knows what happens when we keep building up our knowledge. We think we don't need God.

You make it sound like He wants us to be stupid.

Oooooor maybe some caveman a few thousand years ago pointed at fire and made a grunting noise, and fire became called "Ug", and then they started naming other things until they had enough words to form sentences.

What? The fire was Ug, the cave wall was UgUg, the cave floor was Uuug, they were Uggggggg, and the sky was Ugugug? Actually, that's probably how it started. Not sure how they got words for jealousy, love, hate, ect.
