Well, we thought about AI again. This time Andy joined us. Jake, as promised, went Marx Grudge. He read from Marx's "Fragment of Machines," and listed the many lawsuits currently levied against "AI vendors." That said, he also couldn't help thinking about the future of porn. Sagi spoke about the metaphysical utilitarian progress underpinning AI, certain that the only real thing AI can do is solve the stupid analytic philosophy trolley problem. Oh, that and get a high score on an IQ test. Andy introduced the Tower of Babel and helped us think about how concrete thinking is overtaking the younger generation. AI, entirely focused on space, and against time, leaves no room for ethics, for thought, for enjoying petites madeleines. Listen past the end, for a Proustian surprise.

For only the second time in mankind's history we can speak the same language. The first is found in Genesis where Noah's descendants spoke the same language and attempted to build a tower to heaven. To be like God. The second is now through binary code. Email:  swdyouthink@gmail.com

And he began to be a mighty one on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord." And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel.Genesis 10:8-9Nimrod, the wicked great-grandson of Noah, and Babylon, the kingdom he created, provide us with a prototype and a preview of the spirit of antichrist and the kind of government he always seeks to install—dangers are still with us to this very day."Nimrod", in Hebrew, means "the Rebel,” one of the titles given the Antichrist in 2 Thessalonians 2:8—where he is called "The Lawless One". The form of Nimrod's rebellion was to head up a great confederacy in open revolt against God.Arthur W. PinkWe hope you enjoy Part 11 of our Bible studies in “Genesis: The Book of Beginnings”, “Nimrod and the Tower of Babel”.

The Tower of Babel was built after Noah's Great Flood. Yahweh had told Noah and his sons to go out and multiply on the Earth and they did have children and multiply, but they disobeyed when it came to dispersing. They stayed in one area and shared one language and they decided to build themselves a city with a great tower to the heavens. What exactly was this tower and why did Yahweh decide to spread many languages and confuse their efforts? What were these men creating? Clearly, this stone tower didn't rise to the heights of our modern-day skyscrapers. And who exactly was Nimrod who seems to have led these efforts? Did the men of Babel create a portal for the gods to come through? Main theme: Crazy For Thrills by Muse Music with Groove Studios

God has to once again deal with the sin of humanity at the Tower of Babel before Scripture turns its attention to one nation through which God would provide salvation for the world.

On today's ID the Future out of the vault, host Andrew McDiarmid rings up author and philosopher David Berlinski in Paris to discuss his book Science After Babel. Berlinski is at his cultivated best as the two discuss everything from the biblical Tower of Babel as a metaphor for modern materialistic science, to his friendship with the brilliant and colorful French intellectual Marcel Schützenberger, a world-class mathematician who was self-taught and, as we learn here, came within a hair's breadth of being swept up in the Chinese Revolution. Berlinski also reflects on the seminal 1966 WISTAR symposium, which laid out some mathematical challenges to Darwinism, challenges that Berlinski says remain unanswered to this day. At the same time, Berlinski gives Read More › Source

This episode of Fed by the Fruit KB dives into the profound biblical narrative of the Seven Dispensations and the Tower of Babel, illustrating the consequences of human pride and disobedience toward God's directives.We explore the concept of dispensationalism, a framework that categorizes God's interactions with humanity into distinct periods, and how this lens aids in comprehending scriptural teachings. It highlights the significance of humility and the dangers of seeking unity apart from divine guidance, as exemplified by the builders of Babel who attempted to reach the heavens through their own efforts.Each of these periods reveals profound insights into human nature and God's enduring desire for relationship and obedience, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of biblical narratives and their implications for contemporary faith.This episode serves as both an informative guide to embrace a healthier, more balanced lifestyle, encouraging listeners to embark on their journeys with renewed vigor and compassion.Reach out to KB on Instagram and share your thoughts.

Have you ever wondered how ancient stories can still speak powerfully into our modern lives? Today we took a look at the Tower of Babel – we realize that this tale isn't just about confusion and punishment. We discover that God's response to humanity's pride is not one of wrath but of love; by confusing their languages, God offers a redemptive opportunity for connection and understanding. This reminder resonates deeply in today's world saturated with technology, urging us to consider how we engage with it.

Recently, a term emerged in conversation that stopped me in my tracks: polyglot mysticism. After looking it up, I discovered it refers to individuals who engage with various spiritual traditions and texts in their original languages, allowing for a deeper understanding of nuances and philosophies that might be lost in translation.1

The Tower of Babel - Nathan Bailey by Somerville St Church of Christ

We continue our "Sunday School: A Fresh Look at Familiar Stories" series with a look at the well-known story of the Tower of Babel. Together, we explore how this ancient account speaks directly to our modern world, and what it means to follow Jesus in a culture where appearances of unity often mask deeper divisions. Join us as we seek wisdom, clarity, and purpose through God's Word. Scripture Referenced: Genesis 11:1-9

Dive deep into the Tower of Babel like never before — from its ancient roots in Genesis 11 to its prophetic shadow in Revelation. This powerful Bible study explores the historical, linguistic, and theological meaning of Babel, revealing how a single act of rebellion shaped the destiny of nations.Video Version Available upon release on your choice of 4 Free Video Platforms with instant access at https://www.lastchristian.net/Explore the rise of Nimrod, the construction of early ziggurats, and God's dramatic response that changed the world forever. Discover how Babel became Babylon — a symbol of human pride, rebellion, and spiritual deception — and how it still affects our modern world.We'll connect the confusion at Babel with the supernatural unity at Pentecost, examine prophetic parallels in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, and Revelation, and expose the coming judgment of “Mystery Babylon.”This is more than history. It's a warning — and a call to return to God's design before the final fall of the world system.

1. Using the TV show MASH as an example, Dr. Christina Bohn helped us start to think of the Tower of Babel story through a lens that considers the time of the story's editing, synthesis, and recording. She explained that though scholars believe it likely that the story had long been a part of Israel's oral tradition, it was written down and recorded in (roughly) the version we have today after the destruction of the first Jerusalem temple, during Israel's exile into Babylon. Take a few moments to think of a story that you've told (or heard told) many, many times. It might be a family story that helps to capture and convey something specific about a family member or event. It might be the story of the founding of your town, or the formation of the company you work for, or a story you find yourself telling to describe something in your own personal experience. It could be a story that helps communicate something formative and important about another community of which you're a part. If possible, wait until everyone has come up with a story before moving forward (and don't worry; you won't be asked to share the story! Just choose one in your mind; there are no right or wrong answers.)Once you've thought of a story, think about a big idea that you take away from that story. It might be something like, “It highlights how silly my uncle could be” or “It demonstrates this community's commitment to high quality science.” or “This story captures a sense of just how lost and confused I felt at that time in my life.” Now imagine that you've been given the task of writing this story down so that it can be shared with future members of your community/family/company/group for generations to come. Knowing that your version will become the “official” version for the group, what do you think might come up for you as you try to write it down? Do you think you might feel a different sense of what is important to capture in the story? Might you feel tempted to alter it in certain ways? Why or why not?How easy do you think it might be for someone else to hear the story and take away a completely different meaning to the one you noticed or intended? How do you feel about that potential? Imagining this scenario, how do you think you'd feel if you were, in fact, asked to take on this task? What might make you hesitant to take it on? What might make you eager?Consider this dynamic, and your response to this prospective task, in light of the stories we have captured in Genesis and other parts of the Old Testament. What questions or curiosities arise for you as you think these often very familiar stories? What feelings surface? 2. Christina also taught that Ziggurats were structures built to attract deities to the city and people who built them, and to then provide a home-base for that deity. Part of the appeal was using the ziggurat to help the people to co-opt that deity's presence as an endorsement of that group's superiority and strength. That goal was about controlling, manipulating, and placing limits on the deity. This story, then, is warning the people of Israel against pursuing this practice/approach to God, though it would have been all around them while in exile. What examples have you seen of organizations or individuals co-opting God to endorse and build up their own plans and practices? What short and long-term outcomes have you seen come from this practice? Are there groups/settings in which you've been a participant in this process (even if you didn't realize it at the time)? What have you learned (or are you learning) from that experience and its outcomes for yourself and/or others?Christina went on to say that when we try to co-opt and control God, we move outside of our boundaries as humans and, as a result, lose an anchor to our reality, and that this distortion of our role as image bearers leads to nothing but difficulty and pain. How does this statement resonate for you? Does it ring true? What resistance might you feel to it, if any? Why do you think we, as humans, seem to continually try to push past the limits of our humanity in order to control God, even though we may have seen the harmful outcomes this has? 3. Christina also shared a personal example of a moment in which she found herself trying to manipulate, control, and co-opt God for her own purposes. She talked about how, even though she hoped to be a conduit of God's love, she found herself instead bringing confusion and disarray to the conversation. In what ways can you relate? How aware are you of this potential within yourself?In what types of conversations or situations do you find yourself most likely to start using God for your own ends and endorsement? When does this feel easiest to avoid? When does it feel most difficult to avoid? Do you feel any ambivalence about the advisability of this practice? Are there times when it can feel justified? Why or why not? Christina asked, “What kind of name do you think we, as God's people, are making for ourselves now? Would God call us babel, ‘confounding,' or would he declare us to be a “gateway to God's presence?” What's your response to these questions? How do you think you, personally, contribute to what you see happening in your communities? What's your contribution to the name God's people are making for themselves right now in the larger aspects of the church and our world? How do you feel about that dynamic and your part in it?

This summer, we're taking a short break from our regular podcast format, and instead have selected various installments from past message series given by James Emery White at Mecklenburg Community Church where he serves as the Senior Pastor. "The Tower of Babel" was the sixth installment of a series titled, "Primordial: Genesis and the World's Primeval History." Primordial is defined as that which has existed since the beginning of time. The first book of the Bible - Genesis - begins with the words “In the beginning..." So what do we really know about the beginning of time and those earliest chapters of human history? How do we grapple with all that it holds in light of fact vs. fiction, or science vs. religion? Today's episode will walk through what really happened when the tower of Babel was constructed, and the cultural implications for our day. Episode Links Below you'll find the link to the full series if that's something you are interested in checking out, along with the sources that were used in the development of the message itself: "Primordial: Genesis and the World's Primeval History" John Walton, “Beware Our Tower of Babel,” Christianity Today, read online.

The tower of Babel was truly a tremendous undertaking. It would have been an amazing structure, certainly one of the wonders of the world in its day. But, as we know, it was a colossal disaster before the Lord. Today, as we turn to that story and the genealogies that surround it, we get a good taste for the failures of humanity, and the beginning of God’s plan to save us.

The story of Babel shows what happens when people try to live without God. In this message, you'll learn how the same pride and confusion from long ago is still around today—and what God wants us to do about it.

In this episode of The Creation Today Show, Eric Hovind is joined by Babylon Bee's Joel Berry to expose the absurdities of Woke Culture and reveal how this modern-day "Babel" is collapsing under the weight of its own madness. How did we get here? Where is it all headed? And more importantly, what should Christians do about it? Get ready for a hilarious, eye-opening, and seriously important conversation for standing strong in today's upside-down world.   Watch this Podcast on Video at: https://creationtoday.org/on-demand-classes/wokeness-the-new-tower-of-babel-creation-today-show-424/   Join Eric LIVE each Wednesday at 12 Noon CT for conversations with Experts.
