Did Our Languages Come From the "Tower of Babel"?

 Jehovah scattered them from there over all the surfaces of the earth, and they gradually left off the building of the city. That is why its name was Babel, because there Jehovah had confused the language of all the earth." - GENESIS 1:8, 9. 

DID that event recorded in the Bible really happen? Did people start speaking different languages all at once, as described? Some scoff at the Bible's account of how human languages began and spread. One author claims: "The Tower of Babel myth is definitely one of the most absurd stores ever told." Even a Jewish rabbi called it "a naive attempt to explain the origin of nations."

Note: People scoff, but these people did not live back then. And nothing God does is impossible, ever! Those were his words, and he does not lie! I am willing to think that these people who say these things don't even read the Bible. It's like people who never had children tell others how to raise their own children.  They have no idea what they are talking about.
