For that matter, why didn't we get a more severe punishment when we started sending men into space and even the moon? If the Tower of Babel was presumptuous of man, sending astronauts above the atmosphere would have been far more presumptuous.

You're pretending to believe that they could simultaneously remember direct intervention from the One True God so they build towers, but not offensive towers, but also play around with idolatry, false deities and polytheism out of boredom.

That's absurdist beyond the realm of even Dali or Bunuel. Or talking out your ass.

Again, you made the claim that all humans were in Shinar. Please back it up. Where is that stated clearly in your Bible.
