i am not a christian, so maybe i am missing something. The reason humans act badly is because of sin, which was brought into the world because of the Fall in the Garden. So far, so good. But then when God uses the Flood to wipe out the evil he sees, he keeps Noah and his family around. Why? If Noah had sin, then it was stupid on God's part. God could have just killed everyone and made new people (and animals, like he does in Creation)or some other lifeform, or ended it all. But he saved Noah, with the knowledge (even encouragement) that all future humans would be related to him.
So, if Noah and his family were sinless, how did it get back into the world without it being another big story in the Bible?
And if they had sin, what the hell was God doing killing everyone else in an attempt to eliminate sin?
i hope this makes sense, as i would hate to get a bunch of dumb answers.
