Tower of Babel

The failure of the tower of Babel to reach God was not due to people not being able to build high enough. Its failure was not a technological one, rather the project was doomed because in principal no matter how high one builds one cannot reach God that way.

These days people assume that there is a technological solution to most of the world's problems. Our confidence in our science and technology has given us the idea that we don't need God, that instead our technology will save us.

Anyone who believes this hasn't come to grips properly with the story of the tower of Babel.
