The Tower of Babel is one of those cool Bible stories you learn about in Sunday School. It's easy to teach, on one level. Simple and understandable. The people at that time, all speaking the same language, decided to build a tower with its top in the heavens to make a name for themselves. God, on the other hand, decided this was not a good idea. But if that's all we get out of this story, we haven't understood it. And one of the keys, I think, is to look at what God said about this project: and this is only the beginning of what they will do. Man is supreme. Man is God.
