I have similar ideas about why God confused the languages.
God's plan was for the people to spread out as the population grew.
The people had a different idea. They wanted to always have contact. This was why they planned for the tower to be very tall. It was their thoughts for it to rise above the trees and rolling hills. It would be seen from far distances if they only climbed a mountain and looked around. I think of how far one can see all around if they go to the top elevations of the Smokey Mountains.
Their reason does smack of the beginning of a one world government by their always keeping touch. Forming a sort of capitol city. To them it sounded like a good idea.
God's plan was for them to spread out. I've wondered why God's plan was better than theirs. The only idea I've thought of is this.
United they would become strong and would advance quickly in ideas and technology. They would destroy the world more quickly. God wanted lots of time to pass before man could destroy the world. God had a family to regrow and for many to choose his kingdom. God knowing what he was planning to do stated this when He first created humanity. Multiply and replenish the world. That is what happened first with Adam and Woman ... they multiplied and then with Noah and his family mankind was replenished. Just saying. I know lots of other people have ideas about what the job of "replenishing" meant for humanity. My thoughts are just another idea.
Our Founding Fathers thought a United Nation of states was a good idea ... and it has worked fairly well due to the sharing of powers within our national government and the rights of individual states ... until these times it seems. We have grown strong and accomplished much.
Is God choosing to divide us at this time ... as a farmer separates the tares from wheat??? We can all see how a united central government can be vulnerable to the invasion of socialism.
Must go ... responsibilities call.
