(as "ma" is universal for mother, despite God's best efforts to confuse it) which would be unsuitable for engineering purposes (yo Hamiekiel go begot the turnip for the cubit thingy) so that he would not have need to have so many Bible translations which btw are inerrantly errant.

It's just a story to explain why there are different people of different races and why they speak differently.
Come on.... 2,000 years ago they had to explain everything somehow...

Check this out. In the Book of Acts, The Holy Spirit descended on the disciples with fire and they began speaking in other tongues! Isn't that awesome! You see, at Passover in Jerusalem, people came from far reaches of the Ancient world to celebrate the passover. And guess what? They spoke different languages! Isn't that amazing. So God, in His infinite wisdom sent the Holy Spirit on the disciples and they all spoke different languages telling the Good News that you too can enter into eternal life through repentance and remission of sins.

The purpose of scattering them and confusing their speech was so they WOULDN'T be able to communicate with each other anymore. Did you really read the story? God wanted us to speak different languages so we couldn't unite like that again.
By the way, "ma" is not universal for "mother." Many languages do use that sound for the female parent, but there are also plenty that don't. In Finnish, for example, "mother" is "aiti." Not an 'm' in it anywhere. It's not the only one by any means. You can't claim "universal" simply based on your own experiences.

It was gods waay of creating the "speaking in tongues".
Without the "speaking in tongues" over half the questions in YA would not be possible.

We have no right to question God. He is almighty and knows what he was and is doing.
