No one has found ancient bibles written in all those different languages. Did god do this on purpose to let the majority of people go to hell?

The concept of Bible to those people would be totally unheard of. Their belief would have been passed through oral communication, not written.
Not to mention that the story itself is used primarily to warn humanity against pride and to explain the mutitude of languages.

Actually, the Bible was written first by the Jews and for the Jews and then for the Christians, a total of 66 different books that weren't completed till around 100 c.e. The Bible also says that God is not partial, but that He sent his son so that everyone believing in him might have everlasting life.
Obviously, many humans walked the earth before Jesus was even born. HOwever, the apostle Paul in a speech before a Roman governor said this at Acts 24; 15 " and I have hope toward God, which hope these men themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrightoeus."

Yes of course God knows all - he knows what the outcome is and the reason for the different languages today comes from this. These people were wicked and so communication needed to be splintered.
Consider this - Read the book Left Behind. Unification of the World may not be as great as everyone thinks, I believe this refers to the Tower of Babel story....

Yes he did. He did this because man banded together under Nimrod to create an anti-christ kingdom and a tower that would reach heaven. If he did not confuse the tongues of men, then there would have been perhaps a one world government of evil. Instead, the tongues were confounded and man dispersed which was God's plan.

Well GOd knows what will happen but what are you talking about.
If there were significant writings before this time they would have gotten destroyed in the flood however it does seem that a lot of time has passed since the flood and the only thing in the Bible it mentions betwen this and the flood is when Noah got drunk.
God doesn't desire most people to go to hell he just makes it our duty to tell others.

God knew everything that was going to happen before He spoke life into anything He confused their tongues because even though they wouldn;t have reached heaven He knew that if tgey could come together to do that the enemy would use them in more ways to come against Him. No one said they went to hell this is a principle He's teaching, if only the people of God were so aggressive about manifesting the things of God.

After seeing man travel far into space, how could you possibly believe the story about the Tower of Babble?

The story of the tower of Babel is, like much of the bible, fictitious. But I'll offer an interesting sidelight: in Semitic languages, bab means gate, el means god, so the tower's name means gateway to god.

Who knows and who cares? That talk about the tower is just a bunch of babble.

He doesn't let them go to hell they chose it when they were on Earth and they disobeyed Him. God knew what was going to happen it's part of his plan for us on earth. I mean think about it we wouldn't be here unless Eve partook of the fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil. He knew she would eat it so he knew everyone would have a chance on Earth. He knows everything Past, Present, and Future. He's aware of what's going on and he needs it to happen in order for us to prove our faith to him until we die and have judgment day.
