Genesis 11: 4:
Then they said, Come let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the earth.
But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The Lord said "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this,then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.Come let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other. So the Lord scattered them from there all over the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it is called Babel--because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth. Genesis 11:4

Hey, two feET: Who said that we've built our aircraft to reach to heaven? Noone is ever going to reach heaven. God gave us the ability to do the things that we do. It seems like we pretty much have free range over the earth right now, but there are many, many things that God will never allow us to do and I believe that reaching heaven is one of those things.

Never the same: are you just an idiot?

The thing here is it was merely by happenstance that whites ended up in Europe, Blacks in Africa, and the oriental and Indian ending up in the far east. It could have been all different. The genetic line that lead to dark skin could have ended up in Europe.

There are so many bibles in the world every race has their own god so if you believe that one god alone created all races believe so I'm not saying that this is false or true but there are so many different races with different beliefs of their own gods and when you think about it how plain the world would be if we all spoke the same language

It definitely explains the different languages, but I don't know if it explains the different races. It had to be awesome for all the people to have had the same thought, and the Lord said nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. These days its hard to get two people to agree on the same thing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Ain't making sense, we already built aircraft that reaches the heaven, so y didn't god destroy it? Let me give you the answer, God moved to a new location, so people can't see him. Now put that in bible.

Anthropologist never looked in Genesis-no wonder a monkey is the best they could come up with.

That is not what I heard. I heard Santa Claus dropped people of at different places and thus many races came to be.

That's how Christians explain different languages. It doesn't explain different races.
btw: That wasn't a question.

You might want to proselytize elsewhere and use this forum, as is intended, to ask and answer actual questions. JMHO.

Hence,
