Huh?
"As far as the situation with the Tower of Babel, this simply went against God's plan to have mankind spread out all over the Earth and form different cultures and variety within mankind. But these people wanted to defy God and stay together and so they decided to build this tower."
???????
Where does the Bible say that God's plan was for mankind to form different cultures and variety within mankind?
And even if it did say that (which it doesn't) how would building a tower have prevented that?
As soon as (if not before) an area (such as that city) would begin getting overpopulated, people would have to leave to find themselves more land.
Can you imagine everyone who exists on the earth today ALL managing to still live in the area around that original tower just because God didn't confuse their language for them?
Get real!
