The Tower of Babel

The story of the Tower of Babel is a powerful cautionary tale for any person or nation that tries to reach too far.  Although we are enabled and encouraged to push back the frontiers of knowledge, it is good to keep in mind the saying of Thomas a Kempis: "Man proposes, but God disposes."
