You really think that Adam didn't know that disobeying God's command was wrong?
God does not hold Adams sin against you. God will justly hold you accountable for your own sin.

I thought we all had original sin from Adam or is that my Catholic school education rearing its head?

You cannot find that doctrine in the Bible, though some claim that you can.
Oh, I feel so much better.

Your feelings are our top priority!
Yeah, I've noticed that. Thanks.
There was nothing wrong with building buildings... what was wrong was man's purpose for this building. It was to be tall and visible so they could easily stay in contact and not totally spread away from each other as God had directed. God decided the way to stop their plan was to confuse their language and it also insured that the people would more permanently separate from one another. What humanity has trouble getting is that their Creator is the one in charge of his creation. With our gift of freewill and the knowledge of good AND EVIL... we are bent on going against the will of our LORD.
In the OT Covenant God often used fear and correction to straighten out things.
In the NT Covenant with Christ God has given us the gift of the Holy Spirit in us to teach us and hold us unto our manifestation in the kingdom of our Lord.
Evil is allowed to co-exist among the "saved" ... the tares among the wheat so to speak ... and all receive seed time and harvest time, sun and rain, blessings and consequences in this life. IOW ... humanity is shown grace and mercy until our Lord returns.
God is out among the nations to save all humanity who will honor him for who he is and what he has done and for his mercy.
Why did he want to spread us all out around the world? I can only guess. To make us more eternally interesting with our different cultures in heaven; encourage competition and creativity; to slow down Satan's plan to fulfill his goal for a one-world-government and slow that process so that more children could be born and our Lord's kingdom would grow.
I happen to think our Lord want a huge family of brothers and sisters with him one day. I'm praying all my loved ones make it there. God's plans are perfect ... Satan's and man's not so much so.

There is truth to this. Maybe not from God, the part about the city. I would live as Shawn James (1st cabin) on Youtube if I could.
At the risk of sounding dumb, please tell me what you believe is wrong with a one world government.
There are no races now. Just like then, there is one one singular race.

God never created a one world government. God created nations.
For all eternity, there will be nations.
Rev 21:24 (AKJV/PCE)
(21:24) And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
Agree
Acts 17:26 (AKJV/PCE)
(17:26) And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Show me in the Bible where He created nations. When He created mankind, all was one.
Agreed, there will be nations after the incidents in Revelation are complete. I can't speak for all eternity, nor can God, for that matter.

When God created mankind there was ONE man. It took some population growth before nations were made.
Acts 17:26 (AKJV/PCE)
(17:26) And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Gen 17:5 (AKJV/PCE)
(17:5) Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
God cannot? How do you come to that conclusion?
Revelation 21 is where the new Jerusalem and the new earth are established. Are you convinced that this is not the eternal state of the world?
