The Questionable Context - Chapter 7

After a time the offspring of Noah began to talk about their predecessor. Here was one that had spoken to the Gods and had become a god in his own way. He had saved his children through his dedication to the words he had received. This means that any man could become a God of those around him and receive their worship through time and work invested. They humans of earth began to contemplate something that had never been done before.   

They decided the easiest way to become a God is the ability to see that which it rules consistently. Their means would be building the tallest building possible that would show the expanse of earth all around them for miles. This earth would become their responsibility and would benefit them greatly as they utilized it for their own desires and devices.   

After many moments Father time spoke to the Air, “Do you see what these indignant children are planning. They are trying to become gods in their own eyes. Considering that which they did not bring into existence as their own property. To use, overwhelm, and throw away as their desires incline them. If they continue with their plan I will ask a service of you. Would you blow down their tower upon my request?”  

“I see your face in this, Father, and I trust your knowledge of all things that happen under the Sun. I will speak with ferocity upon your request.” replied the Air.  

After many moments, and after the tower of Babel had grown larger than any other creation of man before, Father Time saw the right moment for his plan to come to fruition. He spoke with the Air who blew with such intensity that they tower fell right away upon the ground beneath it. Time knew that the children below would just rebuild the same work if left alone, so he opened doors around the whole Earth and walked the children through those doors.   

This was the beginning of the nomadic and indigenous people groups around the whole world. Each family adapted to their new surroundings. Their skin changed colors to better suit for their new homes, their words adapted to their new families, their customs adapted to their new forests and deserts where they had been placed. After a time all people only told stories about the times before when all people were one family, but with enough time even truth becomes a myth for children.
