Let me end the blogging day with another Tower of Babel. Posted: 26 Jun 2021 05:58 PM PDT This is an engraving by Coenraet Decker for a scholarly work called "Turris Babel" by Athanasius Kircher, published in 1679. According to Wikipedia, Kircher applied modern science to the account in the Book of Genesis. He wrote that it was impossible to build a tower that would reach Heaven: He explained that the distance from the earth to the lowest celestial sphere, that of the Moon, was twenty-five earth diameters. There were not enough building materials in the world to construct a tower so high, and if it had been built it would have pulled the entire planet over out of its equilibrium at the centre of the universe, causing darkness and extreme climate change in many parts of the world.
