Yeah, they just finished Burj Dubai which is the talest building in the world at half a mile high. I hear that it is so tall that you can see the curvature of the earth from the top of it. And they are now looking towards building a mile high one!
Gee that sure sounds familiar...
Genesis 11:1-6
-1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
-2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
-3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
-4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
-5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
-6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
