[ WP ] God does n't intervene in the story of the Tower of Babel

Progress on the Great Tower had spanned for generations and its builders experienced many hardships. The ancient foundation of sun baked brick had cracked and slipped under the growing weight and the people of the world had to work to advance themselves for their heavenly climb. Clay gave way for pillars of stone and iron that were soon covered over with frames of vast steel beams. As the Tower reached towards the Firmament the people had to learn to deal with the thinning air and the growing heat of the sun that passed along its path in the world covering firmament. It would not be the hand of man that reached heaven but that of machine when the heat of the sun and the stars prevented the builders from walking among the beams and cables of carbon nanotubes and greater materials. When the Tower had reached the shell of Heaven and a laser drill had cut its way through, humankind could climb into heaven and look over the world and their creation and humanity saw that it was good.
