And theologically if fails as well. It portrays God as an incompetent monster that has to go to extremes to kill the people that he hates. Christians should be glad to know that it is a myth.
Or perhaps God destroyed people that was on their mission to destroy any desent living being.
Perhaps this is why you are here on earth now, due to the fact that your ancestors were not destroyed bu either these corrupted population on the earth, ot this flood which God sent to save the few!
Why using such a superficial argument.
There is ample evidence that the flood did occur, and that it was not a local flood, and covered the whole earth.
As a Christian I like the Biblicak history for 2 reasons.
First of all, it confirms science and is complimented by new scientific discoveries.
Second of all, if it was a book written with only the nice and beautifull, with none of these "violence" you dont like, I would have a suspicion of fraud. As for these violence you dont like, well, go read and you will get the answers to why God were so violent.
I gained respect because of that factor, for God is not some hippy god in the sky you want him to be.
Nope, such a thought is idolatory!
