Why Would Noah's Flood Have Been the Best Way for God to Cleanse the Earth?

[David Davidovich]

I was doing some research on another topic that I had been thinking about, however, I read this quote in one of the articles that I was reading:

Even after the Fall, it makes sense that these weather variations were minimally different. But with the global Flood that destroyed the earth and rearranged continents and so on, the extremes become pronounced — we now have ice caps and extremely high mountains that were pushed up from the Flood (Psalm 104:8). We now have deserts that have extreme heat and cold and little water.​

Therefore, after reading that, what I would like to ask those who believe in the Genesis account about the flood: Why would the flood have been the best and the most efficient way for God to have cleansed the earth of the saturated evil that existed at that time? Considering all the extreme changes and consequences that are supposed to have occurred as a result of the flood.

Most likely because it had to happen according to natural laws of our universe. If it happend with some extraordenary superpower it would not be within the law of the nature.

This is just my view and understanding, not nessesary the true reason why the flood hapoend.

So, why would you say that it most likely had to happen according to natural laws of our universe? Also, what do you mean by if it happened with some extraordinary superpower?

I mean that it had to be done in a way that looked natural to the people of that time.
If God suddenly appeard on earth doing things that was not according to the natural law, humans would no longer need a belief in God, they would know for certain. And would be unable to enlighten to the truth, by cultivation of their mind.

But I thought that was the whole point of the Genesis story: That God had Noah warn the people during that time, that God was going to unleash a supernatural flood on the earth, and told people that that was the reason why he was building the gigantic ark.

Yes, but it was Noah who delivered the message, God used Noah qs a messenger in my understanding

 

[Watchmen]

So later theologians could suggest the flood was a baptism of the earth and point to it as a sign that all must be baptized by water.

Believing Genesis does not mean believing a literal six 24 hr days about 6000 years ago.
Is the flood meant to have been the best way or just the way God chose?

If it flooded for forty years then a human would have been keeping a journal.

If a human said it rained for forty days and nights then returned heavy downpour returns

I've seen it occur in Australia...thanks to atmospheric experiments.

As if God told NO AH to build an ark the same question imposes was NoAh a real man....or was it notified man's owned conscious psychic warnings?

Father man spiritually taught about God earth changes ignored by his arrogant science son!

I heard the voice of my own father by God causes telling me.

Humans taught the giant life earth God and heavens supported was huge beasts. In an evil satanic gods heavens.

Dinosaur life. And God taught science men destroyed their evil life. Cleansed the earth.

I had learnt the water flood owned no saviour. As it hadn't.

Life destroyed.

Men of science taught hence ice was new life returned human and new beasts saviour. Ice.

Gods newly born earth spirit ice the saviour.

Ice had also melted some of its origins so ice now kept the stable gas nuclear heavens balances.

Taught scientists.

So a forty day night cleansing taught science of man flooding was because man of science defied God that had kept the balances of the heavens.

Heavens cloud face covered the mountain where humans had climbed to take shelter.

Is a real human history.

The clouds descended over the people whilst below them UFO ark burning gases flooding was activated.

That no AH breaths had been caused by men of science.

And it was because the bushes had been burnt. Lightning strikes had increased surged because of human scientists.

Man was taught advised he was wrong first warned many times yet built it anyway. Knew he was going to cause it as he had been advised.

Men said to save life on earth yet the saviour is ice not a man and water floods to cool burning gases. It wasn't meant to happen hence scientific coercion is the same today as it was before.

As it was taught that man built it to save life was a scientists lie. He was told he was going to cause non stop flooding but cared less.

The God teaching said man was taught by gods advice how to build then cause flooding.

As God was science thesis of humans.

As scientists just humans know it all.

If he magically poofed man, the Earth, and everything into existence, he should be able to poof a troublesome mistake out of existence just as easily.
Apparently he enjoyed dramatic spectacles, though.

What I wonder is, after ridding the world of a faulty model, why did he repopulate it with the same, unaltered model?
You know what they say about people who repeat acts hoping for different results...

Ancient Israelites needed a just-so story for rainbows.

Rainbows come out after rain.

It's symbolic. We make things clean with water.

Because it was written by the same, unaltered model.

The underlying question that the Genesis authors' seek to answer is "why are things the way they are?" What's humanity's place in the universe? What's Jewish society's place in humanity? What's each individual's place in Jewish society?

The overall theme of Genesis is that human society has been ordained by God to be a particular way. If the story doesn't end up with humans being the way they are, then it doesn't work.

Because continents float.

Right.
Nothing like a flood to tidy the house.
