This leveling out process seems to be part of our cultural mind-set . After the Tower of Babel , the author backs up and retells the genealogy of one son of Noah in particular , Shem , and traces his descendants to Abraham . What Wallace argues , convincingly , on the basis of the way science has in fact operated when it has successfully demonstrated some scientific certitude , is that it followed implicitly the Aristotelian methodology and understanding of nature . The Fatherhood of God is not merely one Christian belief among many ; it is the primary truth taught to us by Christ and the basis of our entire religion . If the transgression did actually occur , a private confrontation permits us to take personal responsibility for our charges and for our call to change and atonement . Even though the month of November calls forth from the Church a time of prayer for the souls of purgatory and this for centuries , many Catholics have forgotten to pray for the dead on a daily basis simply because they neither go to weekly Mass anymore nor practice this aspect of their faith , even if they occasionally have Masses celebrated for their deceased loved ones . Our quest goes beyond time , space and knowledge as we know it , and continues forever into the eternal realm of God . After the flood , a genealogy is given of the sons of Noah .
