Assignment:

In Genesis 11:6 we read, "And the LORD said, "Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do (KJV)." God is speaking in reference to the peoples of the earth all coming together to build the Tower of Babel. It is a fascinating verse, because God admits that the race of man has incredible power to invent anything that we can conceive. There are many great inventions that come to mind, such as the light bulb, telephone, combustible engine, and the internet. Another prime example of this is flight.

For your thread, discuss the prehistory of flight and the inventors, designers, and testers who continued to push for manned, controlled flight. What were some of the major obstacles and breakthroughs that took place during the time prior to the Wright Brothers taking flight? How did kites, balloons, and gliders set the stage for the modern airplane? In addition, from a biblical perspective, how has the invention of the airplane impacted the spread of gospel of Jesus Christ? Be sure to list at least one positive and one negative.
