Ok if your agnostic and believe in a higher power what is your belief? You put a lot of effort in bashing Christianity so it must be a really good viewpoint and I'd love to hear about it and how much unbiased research you put into coming to it

Fair enough. IF that is the tower they are referring to it stands to reason that you can prove the events that happened next based of the text of a malevolent creature.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of the earth
BTW, the "scattered" did not stop working on the tower for a couple hundred of years
I'm an agnostic not a theist. I believe that at this time, you cannot know the metaphysical. It might be true, it might not be. Perhaps someday we can prove it but not today. As such, I classify this like the actions the Chinese used to take when they had an eclipse. The would bang on the gongs to frighten the dragon away that they might have their moon back. It worked. They always got it back.
