This subject is most appropriately titled:

“Architects and Developers Penis Envy Syndrome”.

I think G-d has already spoken on this hubris related subject.

Since you brought up the subject of God’s opinion on these projects I am reminded that scripture has a lot of “bookends”. For instance, one commentator suggested reading the first three chapters of Genesis and comparing it to the last chapter of Revelation.

Hebrew literature employs a “folding” technique called chiasm where topics or viewpoints change as the paragraph, chapter, or book proceeds. The central point is in the middle. Then the topics or viewpoints are revisited in reverse order until you get to the original at the end of the work.

Christ is clearly central to history. Maybe history itself has been “unwinding” since His first appearance on the earth?!

One wonders whether the “Tower of Babel” account, which is rather early in Genesis, serves as such a bookend to history itself?
