Men thought they could make an unsinkable ship just like they thought they could build a a tower that could reach heaven, and God was angry, gave them different languages so they couldnt continue with the project...

The moment, a nation starts believing it is invincible; a king starts thinking he is always right, a saint starts thinking he knows it all, and an ordinary human being starts reaching out towards immortality, Nature starts dismantling them.
The pursuit of external power always backfires on us.
That is why to stay humble is the only way we brave the storms of life, where a blade of grass stays on, while giant oaks falls apart.

I never heard the story of the tower of babel before, but YES, certainly..
They say that one of the people who made it said : 'even God could not make it sink' , and the result was that the Titanic was split in two halves..
It's also like the rocket 'Challenger', they said it was perfect and nothing could make it fail, and so they named it Challenger, and it simply failed..

No. The Titanic was real, the tower of Babel is fiction. (Factoid: Babel means "gateway to god" in Semitic languages.)

That totally makes sense. All except the god bit.
Your trying to have a rational conversation about the irrational.
Why are people so indoctrinated into this religion thing?
Are you so dogmatic you can't think for yourself?

God gave man the ability to think and do for himself, what he chooses to do with it, is entirely up to him....God didn't sink the Titanic, Human error sank the Titanic......
Man's faults: Greed, it covers a lot of questions........

Actually, I think it was an iceberg crushing the ship.
