People groups arent that different

When God created the difference in people at the Tower of Babel, he merely changed their languages.

But here’s New Scientist says:

“People may subconsciously overestimate the presence of individuals from minority ethnic groups, even if they belong to those groups, which could create illusions of diversity within populations.”

It goes on to say;

“Individuals from the minority group are by definition less frequent,” says Rasha Kardosh at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. “Therefore, we are more likely to notice them and so are more likely to remember their presence, and so we end up overestimating their presence.”

Yes, we often notice the difference in peoples, But still, all were made in God’s image-

Answers in Genesis builds a replica of the Tower of Babel

Answers in Genesis (AIG), announced plans to build a replica of the Tower of Babel in order to combat racism that is becoming a banner cause of the left-wing. Even though the method may seem unconventional, the Bible-based reasoning behind the project blaming the theory of evolution for racism is convincing.

 Answers in Genesis opened the Ark Encounterr park in Grant County, Kentucky in 2016. The centerpiece of the park is a full-scale model of Noah’s Ark at 510 feet long and 81 feet high. In December 2016, for the holiday season, AiG lit the Ark with rainbow colours, aiming to “reclaim the symbol from the gay rights movement” and to remind viewers of the Noahic covenant. AiG reported that the Ark Encounter in its first year of operation attracted over 1 million visitors and aggregated 1.5 million total visitors for both the Ark and the the Creation Museum. 

 The Bible provides us with the true history of humanity. What people classify today as racial differences are rightly explained by the Babel event.

Language Families Support The Tower of Babel Account

Genesis 11 describes the Tower of Babel account when God confused the language people spoke at the time. From then on, there were 70 language groups.

What is interesting is that the language families we currently have correspond roughly to those mentioned in the table of nations in Genesis, providing proof of the accuracy of the Bible, as this brief video produced by the Institute of Creation Research (ICR) shows.

An echo of Babel

Doctors, nurses and Sandra Ralic’s parents are puzzled. Sandra, a 13-year old Croatian girl, had just begun studying German at school but after awakening from a coma she no longer understood her mother tongue. She spoke fluent German instead.

The hospital staff have to use a German interpreter so that Sandra is able to communicate with her parents who do not speak German.

Sandra Ralic’s case brings to mind the Genesis account of the dispersion of languages at Babel. It did not take thousands of years for languages to evolve but they were formed instantly.
