PROBLEM: Genesis 10:5, 20, 31 seem to suggest many dialects, which is an apparent conflict with Genesis 11: 1 that clearly states, “the whole earth had one language and one speech.” Norman L. Geisler

Nimrod is the key . Genesis 10:8-10 compared to Genesis 11: 2;8-9.

People are always trying to prove the Bible wrong. Why don’t they just admit they just don’t want it to be true? They want to live their lives the way they want to with no consequences.

Context explains so much. In Genesis 9:28-29 we’re told of the end of Noah’s life. Chapter 10 picks up with the lineage of Japheth and Ham and how their families were dispersed which happened to include time after the tower of Babel. In 11:1, the story goes back to the end of chapter 9 where Noah died, and it begins to tell the story of the tower of Babel and how the languages were separated. There is no inconsistency, no contradiction.
