3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4 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 (Genesis 11:3-4).
These verses show what at first would be good qualities; that of self-reliance. However, this reliance is at the exclusion of God. Man wanted it Man’s way. Collectively they wanted to be God.
