Explanation: In Biblical mythology, the Tower of Babel was a construction made with the intention of reaching the heavens - which so angered the Jewish God YHWH that he cursed mankind with different languages, so no one could understand each other and construction could not efficiently continue.
YHWH seems to run into that problem often. Make a creation, give it a conscious, give it free choice, give it absolutely no instructions, directions or guidance (other than a few vague appearances) ..... then blame his creation for all their bad choices and burn them all to hell for an eternity for a few decades of bad behavior.
It's a very human like behavior, like drowning your Sims in a pool to entertain yourself
Or childlike behavior .... a being that created something not knowing their own power and not understanding what they did so they decide to abandon it all when it's no longer fun to play with
