The tower of Babel could never have reached to heaven and it was short compared to today's skyscrapers. Why did God stop those men from building it?
Firstly, let us not assume that whatever the past produced was inferior to all present achievements.

Even the mortar used, though its chemical composition has been identified, cannot be reproduced to [...]
