Genesis 6:13 And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destory them with the earth."
Okay. I can see how men and women can be corrupt and evil. Natch. It's not too hard to imagine violent children, I suppose. But after that it gets really hard.
Did all the babies deserve to die? Or, for that matter, the unborn? Noah isn't asked to save so much as one of them.
I don't understand how this can be interpreted as a sort of Divine Justice. Seriously. Nobody else is left alive to teach lessons to. And no effort is even attempted to save those who could not possibly have been part of the problem. Help?

(Exodus 20: 3) The LORD said, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;"
Got that? God didn't save the babies because they were damned before they were born! Instead, He drowned their mothers and let the heathen filth slowly asphyxiate, unborn or no! Makes me laugh just thinking about it! The world is rightfully wiped clean of sin and you liberal scum just worry about the 'innocent babies'. Let me tell you, God doesn't care, and you'll see them soon enought when you join them in Hell!

How could Noah save unborn children when they didn't have the technology back then to do so-God would have had to explain way too much to him. Remember, we are just getting to where babies have a better chance of surviving at 5 months into a pregnancy. Five months would have been almost unheard of back in say, 1950 or 1960. Also, I don't think people understand what was going on with the people in Noah's day and age. There were some pretty perverted fertility cults which had messed things up so badly that even little children were being used in the gross rituals. Nowadays we have psychologists and counselors and group homes for children who have gone through sexual abuse, but back then there was no training in such things. Besides, how do you know for certain that the spirits of the innocent were not taken before the final death throes? God is more merciful than we give Him credit for.

no embryos are not evil and the reason noah was not asked to save one of them is because you can not save what is not there. and if he tried to save an embryo it would die before it had a chance to be born.
and the better question is
are you evil?
becuz when you think about you were an embryo before you became what you are now.
you were in your mother womb and you were an unborn baby and before that you were an embryo; a collection of dividing cells and growing orans.

I think a lot of interpretations are false and misleading and I dont put much faith in the bible but if its true and all those babies died then as I understand God they would not have suffered they would have simply left their bodies behind and moved on to a better place.
