I don't buy this. Why are you sure? I don't know anyone who thinks they are better than God, if they believe he exists... nor would anyone who didn't believe in God make this comparison.
The Tower of Babel story, if taken literally, (as sdm said) illustrates man's attempt to reach salvation alone; apparently God didn't want this. If taken metaphorically, it explains why different languages exist. If taken critically, it shows how text was used to influence people to believe in a certain religion based on their fear/and or lack of knowledge.
If taken crazily, you could possibly draw out some absurd connection between language and computers and make the above post linking the Tower of Babel to God's obvious plan to destroy computers.
