In this time man was considering himself to be more and more like God. He said they are starting to look to each other instead of me (sound familiar) and think they can build a tower to heaven and "make a name for themselves". His concern was what will they think they can do next. He confused their language and spread them across the land so that they would have to look to him instead of each other; because they could not communicate with each other.
There is a lesson in that verse of scripture if you are motivated to look for or there are inconsistencies in that scripture if you are motivated to look for it.
It seems obvious to me that the men would have failed miserably in their task. Therefore, the lesson could have been learned without any interference from God whatsoever.
Given modern technological advancements men have done much more impressive things than fail to build a skyscraper; we have landed people on the moon for instance. We have rovers on Mars.
Is he not as worried about us looking elsewhere for guidance as he was then?
