Oooh, he even put in something
I can debunk!
Quote:
from the website:
That is why I open my controversial documentary with a Renaissance painting of the Tower of Babel and a Biblical quote, "When pride comes, then comes disgrace." (Proverbs 11:2) Rivalry among nations began with which civilization could build the tallest building.

Actually, the whole point of the Tower of Babel story in the Bible is that there
weren't separate nations at that time:
Quote:
011:001 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
...
011:004 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

The idea wasn't a rivalry between nations, but rather an attempt to build something as
one world nation that would keep all of humanity together in a single civilisation.
And here, you were probably thinking he was only wrong about the Moon landings! [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
