The Knowledge Produced by Man could Transform Humanity into a Tower of Babel

Abstract

Reading the biblical episode entitled 'The Tower of Babel,' Genesis (11:1-9), takes us back to the future of humanity. In ancient times, as today, man has always sought to demonstrate that it is possible to reach God. And the construction of the tower was an act of rebellion against God. Yesterday, the means were bricks and bitumen; today they are the Knowledge produced by man and the Technology used. Today's man already sees himself as powerful and only thinks of increasing this power; he does not think that he has triggered a mechanism that could lead humanity into chaos. In this article, we want to show how it is possible to reach a point of no return. Furthermore, we maintain that the disaster we have announced is far more destructive than any calamity that has ever struck the Earth.
