Can you expand on that interpretation of the Tower of Babel story?  
(<http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=gen% 
2011:1-9&version=NIV> non-English readers may find the drop-down menu  
useful)  The usual view is that the humans were too likely to achieve  
their intention because of their single language and so were stopped  
by having their languages multiplied.  That seems the opposite  
message to what you intend.
