Yes we did get our languages from the Tower of Babel story because the people were trying to build a tower to heaven but God stopped them by confusing their language so they couldn't continue to build the tower.

We still have different languages today so its evident that we did get it from the Tower of Babel story from the Bible.

He should have just had another flood, that worked before.

A promise is a promise so He hasn't flooded the whole earth with water ever since.

God made an agreement that He wouldn't flood the Earth again in Genesis.

Really?

Yes really and what is it about that link you can use that and yet you complain when we use the Bible.

How do we get languages from fairy tales?

Have you read the Bible because its in the first book. The reason why we have languages is because theses people wanted to make a tower to heaven so God stopped them by confusing their language so they couldn't communicate thus they couldn't continue the project and that is how we got languages.

It seems to me like the Bible might as well be the story of a very powerful but senile landlord with anger management issues who kicked out his tenets for violating an irrational clause in the contract, and then proceed to follow them around messing with them for the rest of eternity.

He problem solving abilities also seem kind of equivalent to a drunk teenager with supreme power.

So let's say the story is true. You've got one of the only times in history where humanity is all in one place, speaking one language and working towards a common goal. Not to mention this is pretty much the ideal setting to spread the word about how great you are. There would have been no better time to send down Christ and get the whole Christianity ball a' rolling. And instead, you scatter them, confuse their language, perhaps forever destroying the possibility of unity among your children, and pretty much guaranteeing that opposing religions will spring up all over the world. How does this make sense?

Also, if Christians believe that God, in his infinitely irrational wisdom created all languages, why are they some of the first to complain when the clerk at the gas station doesn't speak English well? Shouldn't they be basking in awe at Big G's handiwork?

Hahaha, of course not! Thousands of years ago we had language, before the tower of babel story, and even then those originated from different parts of the world. Something like this:

One corner of the world, rock= szikla. Because that's the noise they made when he dropped a rock on his foot! One person made the noise, rock, because he used it for killing, e.t.c. Different parts of the world developed their own languages!

That is completely wrong how did you come up with that answer? If you back it up with science I have the right to back my up with the Bible. It is very shameful what you name is you are grieving God because you don't know Him one bit.

Side: Yes

The explanation about the Tower of Babel does not account for the people on other continents.

Side: No
