@Kit Cloudkicker dellusional and arrogant. A person who cannot spell lecturing us about engineering. A person who knows nothing of physics or rocketry telling us that travel to the moon never happened. A person who believes that stacking mud fired bricks atop one another and sticking them in place with tar is something that would require complex communication. The word is arrogant and your delusions are curable with a healthy dose of logic, reality and education.

God seems to have communication issues. He should have spent the 7th day creating therapists who could help him work through his issues instead of just lounging about, it's not like he was tired anyway since he's omnipowerful.
How would the people that woke up next day when they realized they couldn't communicate with their family and friend because some other guy built a tower feel?
God is "the lord" remember. If a lord saw his peasants working together to build a monument without his approval he would react the same. Cause that level of cooperation could allow them to rebel against him.
So long as they can surround themselves with morons to provide money and give them tax breaks, what does truth matter. I'm old and bloody sick of being lied to.
My major question is this: Why did god only do this one time? I live in Chicago and I’m sure the majority of buildings in the Loop are significantly taller than any building made of brick and tar. Also, why are modern Christians not in arms about building super tall skyscrapers?
When I was young I remember it being explained to me. GOD changed the languages because they weren't following GODs command to fill the Earth. I didn't understand as that commandment didn't say how fast to accomplish the task.
So if the languages were changed and no one understood each other... were they the expected to employ rape to fill the Earth, no romance languages? This is the bible, so yep, rape is probably the answer. Ask poor Mary...
@@debbys-abqnm4537 I understood the explanation was the division of languages was to groups. They divided into groups of people that spoke the same language. It's been a while but that's what I was told.
@@infopackrat -- that's one way to look at it. A way that doesn't make sense but no doubt you already know that. Division of languages was to groups of people that spoke the same language, except pre Babel when they all spoke the same language (since flood times maybe)... except where they didn't.
I’m confused. If God is omnipresent, how does he “come down” from anywhere? Isn’t he everywhere at once? But then, this is the Bible we’re talking about, nothing in it makes sense! 😂 Edit: Oh yay! More lists of names. My forehead is getting bruised from banging my head on the desk.
@Joseph Polanco The people I met in church or my family members have actually believe that the all mighty creator has been showing himself to mere mortals
@Joseph Polanco What is your point? You have said that no Christian believes that the all mighty creator visit anyone on earth in his physical form and I have provided evidence that it isn't true.
@Joseph Polanco That is still evidence that people believe all what the Bible said is literal am i supposed to provide a study on the percentage of the amount of Christians who believe that the Bible is literal?
@@erthquake9038 I recommend _Asimov's Guide to the Bible_ by the late Isaac Asimov. It is a little dated because there has been more recent scholarship, but it is an excellent companion for anyone who wants to get some basic explanation.
@@robertkirby8685 And yet, no matter how you read it, it still describes the sky as being filled with visible water all because it shares the same color as the giant bodies of water the people lived next to. It doesn't matter what version you subscribe to either, it's still wrong.
@@zecuse Well yes, but one must understand that it's how the Israelites (and their neighboring cultures) viewed it. It doesn't make them stupid, they just didn't have the proper instruments and had to relay on their creative imagine to explain how and why things are that they are.
Robert Kirby They just read it out of context, just like he said “An omniscient God resting” in his other genesis video it didn’t mean literally resting
"the lord came down to the city to see the tower". Another contradiction, he's meant to be everywhere. Whilst he was there what were the sinners doing over here? I'll tell you. The tower was a distraction, so all the people over here could enjoy themselves.
@Joseph Polanco so then... umm... god is not everywhere? Let's say I prayed to him, how is he going to know that I prayed? God does not know what I am thinking? God can not hear my whispers? What if I was in a tough situation and then I really needed god, but god did not hear Me, so he does not answer?
@Joseph Polanco then why did he have to come down to see the tower? This is the problem with the bible. It has a lot of different books with different authors representing god in their own way. And besides, omnipresent is not supposed to literally mean that god is everywhere. It's supposed to mean that god can hear the lowest of sounds and see the smallest of things.
I love how the cloud fairy was royally pissed that everyone built a tower that was maybe as tall as a 6 foot ladder. Imagine how angry he must be about airplanes and hot air balloons, and satellites and the ISS?
Even when I was a teenage Christian I thought that God making people speak different languages just for making a tower was a dick move. By the way I was told that God was pissed because the people said they were building a tower to heaven so if God tried to flood the earth again they could save themselves. Oh the horror. I guess to God that was hubris. And in the version I heard about the different languages was that when they all started speaking different languages they separated themselves into different groups who spoke the same language and then went their separate ways. God himself didn't separate them.
Yeah I remember when I first read the Bible for myself I was surprised by all the alteration and embellishment my Sunday School teachers had engaged in; then shocked by what had been deleted for Bible stories for children. Fun memories.
@Joseph Polanco it literally says god did this because "if as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them" it's not about not procreating or about reaching heaven both are common misconceptions. It is about god being afraid of what people can accomplish without him if they work together.
@Joseph Polanco first off I didn't say it made sense it's bronze age superstition. Most of the bible doesn't make too much sense. Second god wasn't afraid of the people themselves, just that they could get along fine without him. Which we do. Because god of the bible is a fairy tale. Thanks for playing try again.
@Joseph Polanco hmm... maybe because majority of the people in the world believe in nonsense mythologies like yours. Once again better without that ancient fairy tale. I really do hope you learn to let go of that ancient baggage there is no good reason or evidence to suggest it is true and plenty of evidence the bible was written by uninspired goat ropers. You could do so much more without wasting your time worshipping nothing.
@Joseph Polanco when did I talk about any of those things. This is what I'm talking about your reason is damaged. The good news is that it is self inflicted and you can stop.
Thanks for continuing the Everything Wrong series, friend! Interesting how the genealogy segments depict every firstborn child as male, who are primarily the only ones to get named. It makes me wonder what would happen if someone's firstborn was a girl, or only had girls... But this book was originally penned by ignorant desert-dwelling shepherds, so it's a moot point anyway :)
It's actually pretty interesting, Abram in Hebrew means "exalted father" while Abraham "father of a multitude", and this change (along with Sarah's) happens Genesis 17 when God declares it so.
Before the beginning, everything was dark, and had always been. Once day, God hits His shin really hard on the bed corner, and out of sheer frustration, He yells, "Fuck it, let there be light!"
I’m a Christian and know all the stories, and YES, I have a lot of questions and don’t understand a lot of things, and wonder about this and that. But I just have a human pea brain compared to Gods. It doesn’t bother me when people poke fun of God and the Bible-AND ME!!🤪😆.
Everybody knows these stories. He’s basically doing with these stories what Christians like to do with the theory of evolution. Dumb it down as much as possible with no context or anything. I mean he doesn’t even know the one of the most historical doctrines of the trinity.
A lot, do you know who doesn't know of these stories? Atheists. Because they willingly are missing the point. However Christians are not Christianity, Christianity is Christ. If you want to know something about Christianity start from Christ and try to know Him. The more you know Jesus the mkre you understand that 95% of Christians are wolves in sheep clothing. Nothing strange, Jesus predicted that more than one time. It's in line with what you should expect in a world where Jesus is true.
And another point. God thinks that he has to kill everyone because they are evil and full of violence, so he kills 99.99999% of all living creatures just because of that. Just after that event, humanity is working all together, in peace, and he is piss of because of that, so he "confuses" people so they cannot work together. According to the Bible then, God needs psychological help.
I love how contradictory the bible is, and yet so many people still believe it's pure nonsense... its really pretty funny (and frustrating to comprehend) how many people still believe in any god or gods with all of the evidence and biblical ridiculousness. I've been watching all of your Genesis videos... loving it... keep going PLEASE!!!
@Joseph Polanco if you watch or rewatch the first few Genesis episodes, there are contradictions about things existing that hadn't been created yet (like the sun and moon, but still there were days?!) also about the number of languages that were being used (the sons all had their own but then there was just one language again?!)... it's clear that the bible made things up as they went on, or things were lost in translation... either which way the bible is a fiction book not to be taken literally
@Joseph Polanco if you have faith there is no contradictions. You can believe anything with faith. Remember Jesus said you don't need to wash your hands. And according to the Bible Jesus hated religion so much religious leaders demanded his death. But don't worry he told his followers he would return in their lifetime. And if you're feeling left out don't worry that Jesus said he only came to save the Jews and divide families. So follow his Commandments sell your tools and buy a weapon and quit worrying about supporting your family.
@@somewhatinformed1208 Were men and women created at the same time or separately? Did Adam die on the day that he ate the fruit, or did he grow to be nearly a thousand years old? Did Cain leave the sight of God or is God always able to tell where you are? Can god be seen by people or not? Some verses say you'll die when you do, yet multiple people are alive after seeing god. Is incest wrong or not? Those are just a couple inconsistencies in the bible.
@Joseph Polanco Is the bible god 1. all knowing. 2. omnipresent. 3. Never makes miscalculations he regrets. 4. Has any human ever seen the bible god before. 5. Which were created first? Animals or humans? Give your answer for each. No explanation needed. Answer straight forward according to your beliefs
Most scholars think the bible was a merger of documents from Judea and Israel after they were merged, and there were more than one from each. That is why you get two versions of creation in Genesis 1 and 2. That also explains why Genesis 10 says each group has their own language and 11 says there was only one language. They were written by different people who did not coordinate with each other. Don't forget that these documents were written on perishable materials so they had to be copied by hand over and over. Mistakes were made and some "divine" inspiration led to insertions or omissions. The inerrant word of God my ....
What exactly could we do if we were united and able to communicate? We could threaten God's position? How did they get to South America, Australia and other places all over the earth? Did he teleport them?
2:30 I was reading this just a few days ago & had a similar thought... In Genesis 1 he wanted Adam & Eve to have this type of success globally.. Then in the next chapter (Chapter 12) he blesses Abraham to "make your name great, and you will be a blessing."
As a kid in Sunday school, i learned that the Tower of Babel story taught that human pride and ambition was very evil so "God" punished the builders by confusing their speech so they couldn't finish building it. And all around me i saw very tall city buildings going up, yet no "God" was punishing there builders.
I love how god never even like, talked to the people who went against his will here, to find out the person's motive or mindset behind what they were doing. He just goes "Oh they're building a tower? Better add language barriers." When he could've easily gone down and ask them not to build the tower.
Christian alert!!!Proceed at your own risk You're on the wrong RUclips channel honey You're not gonna get any converts here We're all atheist and proud of it Yes we've heard about your Christ we grew up with it just like everybody The differences when we grew up we grew a brain and started thinking rationally you still haven't got over your brainwashing yet Not trying to be mean just telling it like it is
That's one way to prove that the bible isn't the word of god; if it was god would know that the tower can't reach heaven. I think that's clear evidence that it was written by men.
Probably the funniest "Everything Wrong..." thus far. I had to rewind a few times to make sure I didn't skip anything while laughing. Well done, Sir!! ^_^
It's not that they took it from a sumerian religion that believed in multiple gods. It's that Judaism itself wasn't always monotheistic. There's a lot of evidence from the later chapters. Yahweh saying he used to go by different names. The Israelites constantly losing their way and praying to different gods. Even the first three of the ten commandments are pretty much an acknowledgement their are other gods, and that Judaism was at least henotheistic.
@Joseph Polanco The letter J didn't even exist when The Bible was written. And if everyone referred to God by a different name in the past than that was what his name was, because that is what a name is. It's what you have everyone call you. And why would an all knowing unchanging God (the only one in existence) have everyone call him a particular name, and then change it, multiple times? A more plausible explanation is the idea that they believed in multiple gods over time and tried to reconcile all those into one so that it didn't conflict with their new monotheistic or henotheistic belief system, much like the Christian's tried to do with the trinity.
@Joseph Polanco Also it's not Jehovah in the bible its YHWH. We don't know how it's pronounced because ancient jews were superstitious about saying it out loud.
@Joseph Polanco You kind of just made my point about how its different now. Its different because the language changed. And, yes the Tetragrammaton is not properly rendered with letters. So I'm guilty of the same thing.
The most definitive proof of the non-existence of god. “Oh dear” says god “I hadn’t thought of that”, which seems to be his answer to alot of situations.
perfect timing! another awesome series of this video while I'm stressed playing mobile legends due to lose streak having feeders and afk teammates. watching Atheist videos are my best medicine for this! it calm and relax my mind.
Keep it up. I've never been so educated or entertained in my life. The Bible deserves all the criticism that you are throwing at it. You make so much sense.
Thank you Friendly Atheist for helping me understand genesis. One question, will you go over the whole bible? In this covid19 ridden world, I have noting but time.
3.00-3.05 This reminds me of what I've heard religious people saying to children when they pray: "Speak louder. How will God hear you up there in the Heavens?" And I'm like, "This is not how omnipotence/omniscience/omnipresence works."
I love your channel. You can actually make the most boring parts of the bible hilarious. I hope you’re going to do the whole bible. This is a bible study I can actually enjoy. My mother wouldn’t know whether to be proud or horrified. Thanks for the laughs.
"Shinar" is Hebrew for Sumer, or more accurately, Shumer. Until the mid 19th century, when British archeologists were excavating Babylonian cities, the older civilization Shumer was unknown to historians so that they had concluded "Shinar" was just a myth.
I really like these family trees. "Abracadabra had sons Brakabadro and Blablacar. And then he lived a long life. And he had other children." WHAT OTHER CHILDREN? What were their names? How many were there? Why are they not listed? Were they less important?
That's the thing! They really had to go out of their way to note down names within the family tree but exclude others. I would be pissed if I wasn't credited for the hard work I do, help repopulate the Earth
There is a common language across the entire planet: mathematics. Whether you're in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, or anywhere else, you can describe the basic mathematical concepts for building a tower in a way that everyone understands. Regardless of their spoken language. I personally have seen this happen when my father, who speaks English, German, and Russian, could communicate his plans for a building with an inlaw who only spoke Chinese. So, god has completely failed here.
In the last chapter, the people already spread all over the place, and now everyone is in the same place again? Damn, I'm learning a lot from stuff I previously found so boring!
Most of the business of the Council of Nicea involved political backstabbing against other Christian factions, especially the Gnostics and the non-Trinitarians.
The flood started in 1656 (Since the time of Adam) and ended in 1806 (if I did the math correctly based on the past chapters. Flood lasted 150 years as mentioned. And sometimes, 40 days 40 nights). 2 years after the flood, Shem was 100 years old? When was Shem borned? Or should the qns be "Where was Shem borned"? In the Ark?
Hemant- you my friend are awesome! Please keep doing these videos. I have a friend who is a turbo Christian that believes EVERYTHING in the Bible is true and the earth is about 6000 years old. I hope you don’t mind that I have used a few of the inconsistencies you point out. Nothing you say to these people matters though. The Bible is the inerrant word of god. Please....
I am starting to see a bit of a pattern with God. Which is sit back and watch the people he created do something wrong and THEN step in and punish them to teach them a lesson? So to be a good parent let your children play with matches and only after they have badly burnt themeselves, someone else or burnt the house down with a few people dying in the fire, and only then, do you then get involved and punish them for being naughty.
The tower of babylon story, is something I could literally imagine a grandpa making up when his young and curious grandson asked Why are there different languages? So to avoid going into complex details of how languages were formed, how they evolved, mixed and mutated etc etc, he just goes with... well.. that.
@Joseph Polanco Ummmm... Actually, they kinda need science to do the trans thing. Those are medical procedures. You just blew any trace of credibility you may have had.
I see a lot of religious people leaving comments and praying for you. I hope the bits of truth they see in your video and those like it help them to see through their indoctrination. It worked for me.
@Timmy Ryan Where is he incorrect in so many things? Like he said, "bible is poorly written". So you can believe any of the 40, 000 denominations, or make up your own. So you can argue with millions of your fellow believers about what is "incorrect" or not. If the bible was true and its theology real, you wouldn't need apologetics. If jesus actually performed miracles, why didn't the jews believe he was their messiah? Why did it take decades for anyone to even write about this? The greatest event in all of history has no contemporaneous historical mention whatsoever. This is what you're going to believe? Jesus couldn't do his miracles for Pilate, Herod, Caiaphas, or anyone else who doubted him. Like we say, "extraordinary claims requires extraordinary evidence"
This story always bothered me. I was taught growing up that "God is not the author of confusion, but of peace." This story clearly shows God confusing language, with the intention of creating chaos and destruction.
The people were building a tower. Meaning that they had to have been architects, engineers, and pretty much every other person you need to build a building. Not to mention a tower that reaches the literal sky would need some really advanced construction techniques. Language changes nothing. Everyone still knew the end goal, they skill knew how to build a tower, they could still look at it, remember the plan, and keep going. Everyone speaking different languages would've been an inconvenience, but it wouldn't have stopped the project. The story sounds like everyone just shrugged and walked away from the tower without even trying to communicate.
Man i love this! As a now ex christian, this is the first time I've ever looked forward to hearing anything about the bible. You make it funny and obvious on how damn ridiculous it is
When people talk about the Bible, they are actually saying that “ I do not agree with God’s way.”That does not disprove God in any way!If you get caught speeding,you can’t say “the speed limit does not apply to me office.”Try that in the court of Law!In like manner,just because you don’t believe in God, doesn’t mean that he do not exist....
People spreading lies with gods and other BS, suitable only for reducing a persons awareness of reality, should be eliminated. There's lots of ways to do this. I would prefer cheap and easy but I don't matter. Never the less, it should be done.
It’s because Israelites were originally polytheistic. Look into how Yaweh (who was originally the war god) got merged into the one “true god” it’s really interesting actually.
@Joseph Polanco so fiction is needed to understand the timeline of things we have no evidence for. What is a God for? Any good evidence that A God ever existed?
The people were commanded to fill the earth, that is, to move into other parts of the world. God punished them for their desire to keep people together. Sin has consequences. Genealogy was important to the Old Testament people. The culture of the day emphasizes the male leader of the family; thus, only male names are used. Learn the culture of the day and stop applying today's culture and norms to ancient civilizations. I loved that you noticed the problem with the fact that Shem and Abraham lived at the same time; however, this is due to the changes made to the Hebrew Bible that shortened the age at the time of the birth of sons by 100 years from Arphaxad through the birth of Terah. Add back these years, and fathers died before sons throughout this account. The Bible is accurate; translators are not. Thank you for catching the error in the Masoretic. I wished more Christians noticed this rather than come up with false teachings that Shem and Abraham lived at the same time. There is hope for you to become a Bible Scholar and teach the Word of God rather than mock it. The newer text changed the dates from the original Hebrew text. If you spent more time studying the Bible rather than mocking it, you might understand it, and then you would believe in Jesus Christ and be reconciled with our Heavenly Father. Praying for your salvation.
The funny part is that this isn't the only time where God needs to go down to see stuff. Remember when He needed to go down to see if the sins of Sodom and Gommorah was like their smell that was reaching him? Like, WHAT?
Great series! You do realize though, that it does not matter how many times you read it the out come is always the same. It nevers gets better. Hey try reading it in order that the stories were written... it's much more fun...
I grew up in a Christian church. I’ve never read the entire bible. I remember getting to all the genealogy and giving up. Literally what is the point other than to bore us?? Then there’s the whole numbers chapter… what does this offer a person in how to live their life??
3:12 “And why does God say let ‘us’ go down?” Obviously he was talking to Jesus and the Holy Ghost. (I was going to add , but actually probably there are people who believe all the plurals in the old testament actually are that)
So, wait a minute. God said to be fruitful and multiply, but Shem waits for over a year to get his wife pregnant? He wanted to help build a tower first? Did God give all of them different languages? Or could the husbands still communicate with their wives? Did every kid have a different language than the parents? How far can you scatter four couples?
It's always easier to understand if you believe in magic do you believe in magic? God is capable of doing anything if that's what you believe. If you need to believe something that does not make sense claim to believe on faith.
@Joseph Polanco I guess you would say it's the lack of evidence of things like magic and gods. Do you have a reason to believe magic or gods are real? Did you play the story when Jesus said he only came to save the Jews and divide families?
@Joseph Polanco it's religious thinking to think you have evidence of something that there's no evidence of. If people didn't bear false witness would there be any Witnesses of God? I see no evidence of a God who fails at everything he tries like is stated in the Bible.
Bruce, the us was and still is the three branches of government! The executive, legislative, and judicial branches! They are God! Just open your mind and replace the word God with Government! It’s all religious propaganda!
It's an illustration of the evolution of a god. This is back at the time when gods were seen more as people with magic, and had all those foibles of ordinary people. At this point, they weren't seeing their god as the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the universe.
I forget which AronRa video it was where he explained the actual history of this story. There were schools for Sanskrit and then the government ran out of money, school close, then people forgot how to read it over the next thousand years. Edit: the AronRa video is The Evolution of Genesis. And my bad, cunaoform (I know I spelled that wrong, I'm tired), not Sanskrit.

God seems to have communication issues. He should have spent the 7th day creating therapists who could help him work through his issues instead of just lounging about, it's not like he was tired anyway since he's omnipowerful.
And thus, we get the English word: "Babbling" idiots!!!
How would the people that woke up next day when they realized they couldn't communicate with their family and friend because some other guy built a tower feel?
God is "the lord" remember.
If a lord saw his peasants working together to build a monument without his approval he would react the same. Cause that level of cooperation could allow them to rebel against him.
This looks a lot like if someone went: Noone is ever gonna be able to fact check this, so lets just make up random stuff.

When peiple confuse your fanfic for cannon lol.
No what I wanna know is...How come they populated the Earth when they had only Sons ?
Don't tell me.........

My major question is this: Why did god only do this one time?
I live in Chicago and I’m sure the majority of buildings in the Loop are significantly taller than any building made of brick and tar.
Also, why are modern Christians not in arms about building super tall skyscrapers?
Also now that everyone can communicate with everyone why don't god delete Google Translate or something?

Can you imagine people liking bible genealogy... amazing
When I was young I remember it being explained to me. GOD changed the languages because they weren't following GODs command to fill the Earth. I didn't understand as that commandment didn't say how fast to accomplish the task.
So if the languages were changed and no one understood each other... were they the expected to employ rape to fill the Earth, no romance languages? This is the bible, so yep, rape is probably the answer. Ask poor Mary...
@@debbys-abqnm4537 I understood the explanation was the division of languages was to groups. They divided into groups of people that spoke the same language. It's been a while but that's what I was told.
@@infopackrat -- that's one way to look at it. A way that doesn't make sense but no doubt you already know that. Division of languages was to groups of people that spoke the same language, except pre Babel when they all spoke the same language (since flood times maybe)... except where they didn't.
I’m confused. If God is omnipresent, how does he “come down” from anywhere? Isn’t he everywhere at once? But then, this is the Bible we’re talking about, nothing in it makes sense! 😂
Edit: Oh yay! More lists of names. My forehead is getting bruised from banging my head on the desk.
If I was religious I probably would find a way to explain that. That's what they do, but this is a tricky one for them🙃
@Joseph Polanco If this is metaphor then what about the Christians who take this literally? Are they wrong to take it literally?
@Joseph Polanco The people I met in church or my family members have actually believe that the all mighty creator has been showing himself to mere mortals
@Joseph Polanco What is your point? You have said that no Christian believes that the all mighty creator visit anyone on earth in his physical form and I have provided evidence that it isn't true.
@Joseph Polanco That is still evidence that people believe all what the Bible said is literal am i supposed to provide a study on the percentage of the amount of Christians who believe that the Bible is literal?

As an atheist, I'm currently reading the Bible and would love to have videos to follow along.

@Joseph Polanco no... Reading the Bible is the best cure for Christianity
You need make everything wrong with Genesis the movie.
Eh I think Genesis is a decent book, you just need to read it in its proper context which creationists fail to do.
@@robertkirby8685 And yet, no matter how you read it, it still describes the sky as being filled with visible water all because it shares the same color as the giant bodies of water the people lived next to. It doesn't matter what version you subscribe to either, it's still wrong.
@@zecuse
Well yes, but one must understand that it's how the Israelites (and their neighboring cultures) viewed it. It doesn't make them stupid, they just didn't have the proper instruments and had to relay on their creative imagine to explain how and why things are that they are.
Robert Kirby They just read it out of context, just like he said “An omniscient God resting” in his other genesis video it didn’t mean literally resting
@@robertkirby8685 And being ignorant and not having the right tools-god told them to write it all down.
"the lord came down to the city to see the tower". Another contradiction, he's meant to be everywhere.
Whilst he was there what were the sinners doing over here?
I'll tell you. The tower was a distraction, so all the people over here could enjoy themselves.
@Joseph Polanco so then... umm... god is not everywhere? Let's say I prayed to him, how is he going to know that I prayed? God does not know what I am thinking? God can not hear my whispers? What if I was in a tough situation and then I really needed god, but god did not hear Me, so he does not answer?
@Joseph Polanco then why did he have to come down to see the tower? This is the problem with the bible. It has a lot of different books with different authors representing god in their own way. And besides, omnipresent is not supposed to literally mean that god is everywhere. It's supposed to mean that god can hear the lowest of sounds and see the smallest of things.
@Joseph Polanco So he knows everything but has to come down to see a tower? Ok
I love how the cloud fairy was royally pissed that everyone built a tower that was maybe as tall as a 6 foot ladder. Imagine how angry he must be about airplanes and hot air balloons, and satellites and the ISS?
The bible reminds me a lot of a drunk uncle at a party trying to retell the events of an old story whilst trying not to succumb to gravity.
Even when I was a teenage Christian I thought that God making people speak different languages just for making a tower was a dick move. By the way I was told that God was pissed because the people said they were building a tower to heaven so if God tried to flood the earth again they could save themselves. Oh the horror. I guess to God that was hubris.
And in the version I heard about the different languages was that when they all started speaking different languages they separated themselves into different groups who spoke the same language and then went their separate ways. God himself didn't separate them.
Yeah I remember when I first read the Bible for myself I was surprised by all the alteration and embellishment my Sunday School teachers had engaged in; then shocked by what had been deleted for Bible stories for children. Fun memories.
@Joseph Polanco it literally says god did this because "if as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them" it's not about not procreating or about reaching heaven both are common misconceptions. It is about god being afraid of what people can accomplish without him if they work together.
@Joseph Polanco first off I didn't say it made sense it's bronze age superstition. Most of the bible doesn't make too much sense. Second god wasn't afraid of the people themselves, just that they could get along fine without him. Which we do. Because god of the bible is a fairy tale. Thanks for playing try again.
@Joseph Polanco hmm... maybe because majority of the people in the world believe in nonsense mythologies like yours. Once again better without that ancient fairy tale. I really do hope you learn to let go of that ancient baggage there is no good reason or evidence to suggest it is true and plenty of evidence the bible was written by uninspired goat ropers. You could do so much more without wasting your time worshipping nothing.
@Joseph Polanco when did I talk about any of those things. This is what I'm talking about your reason is damaged. The good news is that it is self inflicted and you can stop.
Thanks for continuing the Everything Wrong series, friend! Interesting how the genealogy segments depict every firstborn child as male, who are primarily the only ones to get named. It makes me wonder what would happen if someone's firstborn was a girl, or only had girls... But this book was originally penned by ignorant desert-dwelling shepherds, so it's a moot point anyway :)
Please who was there in the beginning that started numbering the day to say the earth to know how old of the earth is?
@@alexanderbonsu3240 well moses is said to have wrote the torah.. so my guess would be moses
It's actually pretty interesting, Abram in Hebrew means "exalted father" while Abraham "father of a multitude", and this change (along with Sarah's) happens Genesis 17 when God declares it so.
_"Before the beginning God was lonely and bored. God saw that it was not good."_
Genesis 0 : 1
Before the beginning, everything was dark, and had always been. Once day, God hits His shin really hard on the bed corner, and out of sheer frustration, He yells, "Fuck it, let there be light!"

I wonder what percentage of Christians actually know of these stories.
Very little know the intricate details.
I’m a Christian and know all the stories, and YES, I have a lot of questions and don’t understand a lot of things, and wonder about this and that. But I just have a human pea brain compared to Gods. It doesn’t bother me when people poke fun of God and the Bible-AND ME!!🤪😆.
Everybody knows these stories. He’s basically doing with these stories what Christians like to do with the theory of evolution. Dumb it down as much as possible with no context or anything. I mean he doesn’t even know the one of the most historical doctrines of the trinity.
@@ellenhall2090 Yeah, I don't care if people make fun of religion, honestly. I don't get all of the Bible either.
A lot, do you know who doesn't know of these stories? Atheists. Because they willingly are missing the point. However Christians are not Christianity, Christianity is Christ. If you want to know something about Christianity start from Christ and try to know Him. The more you know Jesus the mkre you understand that 95% of Christians are wolves in sheep clothing. Nothing strange, Jesus predicted that more than one time. It's in line with what you should expect in a world where Jesus is true.
And another point. God thinks that he has to kill everyone because they are evil and full of violence, so he kills 99.99999% of all living creatures just because of that. Just after that event, humanity is working all together, in peace, and he is piss of because of that, so he "confuses" people so they cannot work together.
According to the Bible then, God needs psychological help.
I love how contradictory the bible is, and yet so many people still believe it's pure nonsense... its really pretty funny (and frustrating to comprehend) how many people still believe in any god or gods with all of the evidence and biblical ridiculousness.
I've been watching all of your Genesis videos... loving it... keep going PLEASE!!!
@Joseph Polanco if you watch or rewatch the first few Genesis episodes, there are contradictions about things existing that hadn't been created yet (like the sun and moon, but still there were days?!) also about the number of languages that were being used (the sons all had their own but then there was just one language again?!)... it's clear that the bible made things up as they went on, or things were lost in translation... either which way the bible is a fiction book not to be taken literally
@Joseph Polanco if you have faith there is no contradictions. You can believe anything with faith. Remember Jesus said you don't need to wash your hands. And according to the Bible Jesus hated religion so much religious leaders demanded his death. But don't worry he told his followers he would return in their lifetime. And if you're feeling left out don't worry that Jesus said he only came to save the Jews and divide families. So follow his Commandments sell your tools and buy a weapon and quit worrying about supporting your family.
@@somewhatinformed1208 Were men and women created at the same time or separately? Did Adam die on the day that he ate the fruit, or did he grow to be nearly a thousand years old? Did Cain leave the sight of God or is God always able to tell where you are? Can god be seen by people or not? Some verses say you'll die when you do, yet multiple people are alive after seeing god.

Most scholars think the bible was a merger of documents from Judea and Israel after they were merged, and there were more than one from each. That is why you get two versions of creation in Genesis 1 and 2. That also explains why Genesis 10 says each group has their own language and 11 says there was only one language. They were written by different people who did not coordinate with each other. Don't forget that these documents were written on perishable materials so they had to be copied by hand over and over. Mistakes were made and some "divine" inspiration led to insertions or omissions. The inerrant word of God my ....

2:30 I was reading this just a few days ago & had a similar thought... In Genesis 1 he wanted Adam & Eve to have this type of success globally.. Then in the next chapter (Chapter 12) he blesses Abraham to "make your name great, and you will be a blessing."
I have to take a break every few episodes or I’ll die from laughing! My ribs hurt! I love this channel.
In Genesis 1, there are pluralistic references to gods, three in this passage: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness".
God(Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit) said "let us make man in our image." Genesis 1:26
As a kid in Sunday school, i learned that the Tower of Babel story taught that human pride and ambition was very evil so "God" punished the builders by confusing their speech so they couldn't finish building it. And all around me i saw very tall city buildings going up, yet no "God" was punishing there builders.
I love how god never even like, talked to the people who went against his will here, to find out the person's motive or mindset behind what they were doing. He just goes "Oh they're building a tower? Better add language barriers." When he could've easily gone down and ask them not to build the tower.
I like how Friendly Atheist is so cynical and critical despite the name
This is such a great series! Thank you, I can’t wait for the next video!
I once watched an Aron Ra video, and he mentioned that the Tower of Babel has a kernel of truth to it. It was based on an unfinished ziggurat.

@@beverlybarnes3122 So you prefer echo chambers as opposed to open dialog with zero censorship and 100% scientific transparency?
That's one way to prove that the bible isn't the word of god; if it was god would know that the tower can't reach heaven. I think that's clear evidence that it was written by men.
You must be a great teacher. Reading all this would have made me crazy, but you read it so well
Probably the funniest "Everything Wrong..." thus far. I had to rewind a few times to make sure I didn't skip anything while laughing. Well done, Sir!! ^_^
It's not that they took it from a sumerian religion that believed in multiple gods. It's that Judaism itself wasn't always monotheistic. There's a lot of evidence from the later chapters. Yahweh saying he used to go by different names. The Israelites constantly losing their way and praying to different gods. Even the first three of the ten commandments are pretty much an acknowledgement their are other gods, and that Judaism was at least henotheistic.
@Joseph Polanco The letter J didn't even exist when The Bible was written. And if everyone referred to God by a different name in the past than that was what his name was, because that is what a name is. It's what you have everyone call you. And why would an all knowing unchanging God (the only one in existence) have everyone call him a particular name, and then change it, multiple times? A more plausible explanation is the idea that they believed in multiple gods over time and tried to reconcile all those into one so that it didn't conflict with their new monotheistic or henotheistic belief system, much like the Christian's tried to do with the trinity.
@Joseph Polanco Also it's not Jehovah in the bible its YHWH. We don't know how it's pronounced because ancient jews were superstitious about saying it out loud.
@Joseph Polanco You kind of just made my point about how its different now. Its different because the language changed. And, yes the Tetragrammaton is not properly rendered with letters. So I'm guilty of the same thing.
Hence the need for the evolution of the 'Babel Fish"
The most definitive proof of the non-existence of god. “Oh dear” says god “I hadn’t thought of that”, which seems to be his answer to alot of situations.

"Shinar" is Hebrew for Sumer, or more accurately, Shumer. Until the mid 19th century, when British archeologists were excavating Babylonian cities, the older civilization Shumer was unknown to historians so that they had concluded "Shinar" was just a myth.
I'm pretty sure there's some major limitations on how tall we can build with brick. Not that's one the more significant factual issues in the bible.
I really like these family trees.
"Abracadabra had sons Brakabadro and Blablacar. And then he lived a long life. And he had other children."
WHAT OTHER CHILDREN? What were their names? How many were there? Why are they not listed? Were they less important?
That's the thing! They really had to go out of their way to note down names within the family tree but exclude others. I would be pissed if I wasn't credited for the hard work I do, help repopulate the Earth
There is a common language across the entire planet: mathematics. Whether you're in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, or anywhere else, you can describe the basic mathematical concepts for building a tower in a way that everyone understands. Regardless of their spoken language. I personally have seen this happen when my father, who speaks English, German, and Russian, could communicate his plans for a building with an inlaw who only spoke Chinese.
So, god has completely failed here.
Genesis 12 continues the Abraham ark. Can't wait to hear of this famous guy who gives name to so many horrid religions

Most of the business of the Council of Nicea involved political backstabbing against other Christian factions, especially the Gnostics and the non-Trinitarians.

I hope you don’t mind that I have used a few of the inconsistencies you point out. Nothing you say to these people matters though. The Bible is the inerrant word of god. Please....
I am starting to see a bit of a pattern with God. Which is sit back and watch the people he created do something wrong and THEN step in and punish them to teach them a lesson? So to be a good parent let your children play with matches and only after they have badly burnt themeselves, someone else or burnt the house down with a few people dying in the fire, and only then, do you then get involved and punish them for being naughty.
The tower of babylon story, is something I could literally imagine a grandpa making up when his young and curious grandson asked Why are there different languages? So to avoid going into complex details of how languages were formed, how they evolved, mixed and mutated etc etc, he just goes with... well.. that.
Keep doing this, till the end.
Can't believe there's grown adults who believe in fables over science...
@Joseph Polanco Ummmm... Actually, they kinda need science to do the trans thing. Those are medical procedures. You just blew any trace of credibility you may have had.
It's a secret society once you realize the truth you have to keep your mouth shut... or continue to tell the fables as if you believe them.

@Timmy Ryan Where is he incorrect in so many things?
Like he said, "bible is poorly written". So you can believe any of the 40, 000 denominations, or make up your own. So you can argue with millions of your fellow believers about what is "incorrect" or not. If the bible was true and its theology real, you wouldn't need apologetics.
If jesus actually performed miracles, why didn't the jews believe he was their messiah? Why did it take decades for anyone to even write about this? The greatest event in all of history has no contemporaneous historical mention whatsoever. This is what you're going to believe? Jesus couldn't do his miracles for Pilate, Herod, Caiaphas, or anyone else who doubted him. Like we say, "extraordinary claims requires extraordinary evidence"
3:12 In the original Hebrew, God is referred to Elohim, a plural of El/Eloah.
Sometimes the original plural meaning is present, but a good amount of the time Elohim is just another name for Yahweh.
@Joseph Polanco a quick google search of her name will bring it up. Not exactly hidden knowledge
This story always bothered me. I was taught growing up that "God is not the author of confusion, but of peace." This story clearly shows God confusing language, with the intention of creating chaos and destruction.
2:52 *coughs* Justice League: Tower of Babel *coughs* read it, *coughs* you know *coughs* if you want *excessive coughs*
The people were building a tower. Meaning that they had to have been architects, engineers, and pretty much every other person you need to build a building. Not to mention a tower that reaches the literal sky would need some really advanced construction techniques. Language changes nothing. Everyone still knew the end goal, they skill knew how to build a tower, they could still look at it, remember the plan, and keep going. Everyone speaking different languages would've been an inconvenience, but it wouldn't have stopped the project.
The story sounds like everyone just shrugged and walked away from the tower without even trying to communicate.
2:55 the skull face from MGS5 comes really close to this description.
Man i love this! As a now ex christian, this is the first time I've ever looked forward to hearing anything about the bible. You make it funny and obvious on how damn ridiculous it is
When people talk about the Bible, they are actually saying that “ I do not agree with God’s way.”That does not disprove God in any way!If you get caught speeding,you can’t say “the speed limit does not apply to me office.”Try that in the court of Law!In like manner,just because you don’t believe in God, doesn’t mean that he do not exist....
People spreading lies with gods and other BS, suitable only for reducing a persons awareness of reality, should be eliminated. There's lots of ways to do this. I would prefer cheap and easy but I don't matter. Never the less, it should be done.
I'm pretty sure the Burj Khalifa is taller than the Tower of Babel. Did God stop caring about tall towers at some point in the last 5000 years? lol
"Come let US go down and confuse their language"! How many gods were there that he needed to say "Us"?
@Joseph Polanco
Yeah, a retcon written later doesn't explain anything. It is just a retcon.
It’s because Israelites were originally polytheistic. Look into how Yaweh (who was originally the war god) got merged into the one “true god” it’s really interesting actually.
you should never stop... keep going until you complete the entire book of genesis
"We're done with genealogies"
Thank god. No wonder no one ever reads the whole bible.
I did. As a young atheist in the 1960s. Read it in self defense, so I knew it better than the Christians who wanted to 'save' me.
@Joseph Polanco so fiction is needed to understand the timeline of things we have no evidence for. What is a God for? Any good evidence that A God ever existed?
The people were commanded to fill the earth, that is, to move into other parts of the world. God punished them for their desire to keep people together. Sin has consequences. Genealogy was important to the Old Testament people. The culture of the day emphasizes the male leader of the family; thus, only male names are used. Learn the culture of the day and stop applying today's culture and norms to ancient civilizations.
I loved that you noticed the problem with the fact that Shem and Abraham lived at the same time; however, this is due to the changes made to the Hebrew Bible that shortened the age at the time of the birth of sons by 100 years from Arphaxad through the birth of Terah. Add back these years, and fathers died before sons throughout this account. The Bible is accurate; translators are not. Thank you for catching the error in the Masoretic. I wished more Christians noticed this rather than come up with false teachings that Shem and Abraham lived at the same time. There is hope for you to become a Bible Scholar and teach the Word of God rather than mock it. The newer text changed the dates from the original Hebrew text.
If you spent more time studying the Bible rather than mocking it, you might understand it, and then you would believe in Jesus Christ and be reconciled with our Heavenly Father. Praying for your salvation.
The funny part is that this isn't the only time where God needs to go down to see stuff. Remember when He needed to go down to see if the sins of Sodom and Gommorah was like their smell that was reaching him? Like, WHAT?
The names of Abram/Abraham and Sarai/Sarah originated from Hindu deities who were consorts, Brahma and Sarasvati.
Great series! You do realize though, that it does not matter how many times you read it the out come is always the same. It nevers gets better.
Hey try reading it in order that the stories were written... it's much more fun...
Is no one going to point out the ridiculousness of every single biblical person having a son as their very first child?
Many ancient manuscript with diffrent languages were discovered before tower of babel
I grew up in a Christian church. I’ve never read the entire bible. I remember getting to all the genealogy and giving up. Literally what is the point other than to bore us?? Then there’s the whole numbers chapter… what does this offer a person in how to live their life??
Who is 'us?' Maybe Jeffrey is a real character... as real as God, anyway.

@Joseph Polanco I like Darkmatter2525's version better.
@Joseph Polanco You do know that Judiasm is a derivation of Zoroastrianism ... among other things, right?
@Joseph Polanco Google Zoroastrianism. I first came across it in the Time-Life series, Timeline.
3:12 “And why does God say let ‘us’ go down?”
Obviously he was talking to Jesus and the Holy Ghost.
(I was going to add , but actually probably there are people who believe all the plurals in the old testament actually are that)
They played this out for me today while i bought tacos lol.
Did he say her name was Milkcock?
So, wait a minute. God said to be fruitful and multiply, but Shem waits for over a year to get his wife pregnant? He wanted to help build a tower first? Did God give all of them different languages? Or could the husbands still communicate with their wives? Did every kid have a different language than the parents? How far can you scatter four couples?
It's always easier to understand if you believe in magic do you believe in magic? God is capable of doing anything if that's what you believe. If you need to believe something that does not make sense claim to believe on faith.
@Joseph Polanco most of the folklore stories about God are found in the Bible.
@Joseph Polanco I guess you would say it's the lack of evidence of things like magic and gods. Do you have a reason to believe magic or gods are real? Did you play the story when Jesus said he only came to save the Jews and divide families?
@Joseph Polanco it's religious thinking to think you have evidence of something that there's no evidence of. If people didn't bear false witness would there be any Witnesses of God? I see no evidence of a God who fails at everything he tries like is stated in the Bible.
Love these. Cant wait for chapter 12!
I’ve studied the Bible in the past, and the “us” you mentioned is probably referring to the the Holy Trinity.
Except Jesus wasn't even conceived for hundreds & hundreds of years yet!!! So US probably meant Jahweh and his ghostly sidekick only!
Bruce, the us was and still is the three branches of government! The executive, legislative, and judicial branches! They are God! Just open your mind and replace the word God with Government! It’s all religious propaganda!
Mark Chippendale Pretty sure God was talking about Jesus when he said “Let us make man in our image”
It's the Royal plural, as when a monarch refers to himself as 'We'.
@@ezekielguy402 Jesus didn't exist yet.
It's an illustration of the evolution of a god. This is back at the time when gods were seen more as people with magic, and had all those foibles of ordinary people. At this point, they weren't seeing their god as the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the universe.
Fantastic. So even God is subject to Darwinian Natural Selection. This really has gotta be some world record in irony.
I like the background music 🎶🎵🎼
Its actually more correct to say that Terah was the last person to live longer than 200 years.
It was 1 language, but the language was French. I'm OK with I speak French. But I don't talk to the religious or play chess with pigeons.
I speak French. Very bad French. Francophones are generally polite enough not to make fun of me when I try.
@@condorboss3339 In my experience, they suddenly find they do know some English, after all.
The beginning of this it sounds like the 3 pigs and the big bad wolf building huts
Yep in fact I like the story of the three pigs a lot better! Lol
I forget which AronRa video it was where he explained the actual history of this story.
There were schools for Sanskrit and then the government ran out of money, school close, then people forgot how to read it over the next thousand years.
Edit: the AronRa video is The Evolution of Genesis.
And my bad, cunaoform (I know I spelled that wrong, I'm tired), not Sanskrit.
As an amateur family genealogist I used my genealogysoftware to enter all these names in my computer...
And that was 20 years ago 😭
Immersion lost. Ryu will never have children. He’s too busy fighting.
