The secrets of the atom were not out of their reach. Nationalism and the reality of what the nations were capable of doing to one another began to look like a bad, bad idea.
What can the ancient story of the Tower of Babel teach us about modern hyper-nationalism? In this episode of 'Why Did Peter Sink?', host Peter Flies dives into this intriguing comparison. He likens the unified, yet misguided, ambitions of Babel's builders to the scientists behind the Manhattan Project, both groups driven by a desire to unlock divine secrets.
Flies doesn't shy away from the darker aspects of history, suggesting that the demonic forces seen in World War II's atrocities offer a stark reminder of humanity's capacity for evil. The discussion isn't just historical; it resonates with today's world, emphasizing the need for sound doctrine and unwavering faith in Jesus amidst chaos.
This episode offers a compelling mix of theological reflection and historical analysis, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with the complexities of faith in a troubled world.
