Genesis 11: Did a Fake God Stop Human Progress? Tower of Babel | E18

In this episode, we dive into Genesis 11 and the Tower of Babel, asking bold questions: Was this “god” trying to suppress human progress? Why disrupt a civilization that had just discovered brick and mortar? We explore the tension between divine control and human innovation, the deeper meaning of Babel as a symbol of godless ambition, and how new ideologies rise when people forget God. What does it mean to confuse the languages? Is this how languages were born or are we talking about double-speak? We also challenge the traditional narrative of Ur, arguing that Abram’s Ur may have been somewhere else.
