I am sure it's not.

Yes.

The Symphony was created by God, not by humans. Therefore, human language should not be what the Symphony uses to communicate.

I do not understand this "human-centric" view of In Nomine. Humans cannot affect the Symphony in any way, shape, or form: they cannot resonate with it, they cannot cause Dissonance with it, they do not make Discord with it.

And yet, you are asking me to believe that a human situation (Tower of Babel) was so important that God had to reshape the entire Symphony just to make them all speak different languages?

He is God. Why doesn't he just handwave it and go, "You all speak different languages now, m'kay?" and be done with it. There is no need to change all Creation to accommodate one small feature in the Corporeal aspect.

On that note, a lot of people also seem to be giving humanity a lot of meaning and purpose where there is none. Such as in the recent Tether thread. What makes humans so special?
