3 self reliances that were shown by the people who built the Tower of Babel during Noah's time?
1) Instead of Noah’s burnt offerings to God (Genesis 8:20), they make and burn bricks for themselves.
2) Instead of stone (God-made stone!),they used man-made bricks. God is not against technology – the problem here is that they were trying to write God out of their lives.
3) They attempt to declare a name for themselves so that they won’t be scattered. They wanted to be great on their own terms, and not according to God’s will. Perhaps they doubted the sign of the rainbow and desired the permeance of a tower taller than the flood. They try to establish themselves without any need or dependence on God.
