In this Commentary Clip, Tony discusses a basic element of spiritual metaphysics that we all experience deeply within our bones as human creatures. Namely, God created us for life without end and we naturally desire this. The episode of the Tower of Babel presents us with a negative example of how immortality is pursued, while simultaneously providing us with insight as to how eternal life is pursued rightly.
