OK, heres the deal. At the time between Adam and Noah there was a group of evil angels that "Looked on the daughters of adam and found them desireable"
Essentially, these evil angels mated with humans and polluted both bloodlines.
God needed a pure bloodline for his Son to be borne so he allowed this impure bloodline to infect and cross breed to every human EXCEPT Noah, and his immediate family.
Aparently the bones of these half breeds were available for people to observe at least up until the time of Noah.
Now, if you want a real challenge, check this out: Make a time line from "now" to December 31st, 2012. Now draw a line from the Myan Calendar and see where it ends. Now ask a few questions to Christians where they think the end of the world is- it'll land close to 2012 to about 2015. Now ask some astronomers when "The Big Astroid is going to hit" and we're expecting one around 2011.
the end is going to be happening soon- the big key is when they make "Chipping Humans" MANDATORY- the RFID chips that humans can have done now "to be cool" I'm pretty sure is the "mark of the beast" as described in the book of Revelations

This is a common misunderstanding regarding the OT. Unfortunately the idea that it was God that wished to wipe out the world comes about because people do not understand the Hebrew Idiom of permission.
This idiom is used to denote God as meaning he 'allowed it to happen' In that he allowed them to suffer the consequences of their own evil.
However Moses was'nt doing that Evil so God had him build an ark and saved his family and the animals.
The flood was caused by the other God. The God of this world. AKA Satan (Meaning 'Adversary') and The Devil (Diabolos meaning 'Slanderer'). It was an attempt to stop the Christ line through Noah.
Because the rest of the world were doing evil, they were already in the adversary's hands and God could not help them. They weren't listening. This truth is also true today, where so many people do not believe in God. They are destroyed for their lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Because they do not recognise the truth about the one true God, creator of the heavens and earth, and the God of this world. The prince of lies and Lord of the dung. The theif who comes only to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10).
However in the fulness of time, the world that is will be destroyed and there will be a ressurection of the just and unjust, and everyone will give account of their every word and action to God.
Then we'll see the wheat seperated from the chaff!

So, you know that Eve has bit the apple from the forbidden tree as per the instruction of the serpant, and she encouraged Adam to do the same.
As a punishment, Eve shall loose her immortality, and will need to reproduce in order to survive. She will bear the greatest pain in the bringing of the future of mankind. And so she had 2 chidren, and children more, and they had children and soon Mankind was populating the Earth.
(Genesis 6; 5) And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the Earth and that every imagination of the thoughts was only evil continually.
(7) And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the Earth, and it greived him at his Heart.
So not only does this show that Mankind was turning towards Evil, Mankind was not grateful to the Lord for creating the Earth. For God to give him Free Will, Mankind had abused it and turned away. To which the Lord decided to destroy Mankind for his treachery.
(Genesis 6; 8) But Noah found Grace in the Eyes of the Lord
(9) These are the Generations of Noah. Noah was just a man and perfect in his Generations, and Noah walked with God
Despite the corruptness of all of Mankind, Noah was one Man who respected God, and so God decided to spare him and his descendants, Shem, Ham & Japheth.
In all the men who had covered the Earth, only one still respected him. This is why Noah was spared.
Despite all the Evil in the world today, there are still some who beleive in God, and worship him. This is why God has decided to let us live further, as the Evil will face their uppence, and the Good will triumph.

That is a story in the Bible not intended to be literally interpreted. Great liberties were taken on the part of the goat-herders who passed down this story through the generations.
But there are some divine truths in it. One is that if people really get what they deserve, it's pretty troubling stuff. The consequenes of evil are fatal and catastrophic. Another truth is that it is possible to escape the consequences of evil by living a righteous life. Finally, the last truth is that God does _ordinarily_ give people their just deserts, and mete out punishment in a sadistic way--although he is fully capable of doing so.

Are you asking the Bible to make sense? My college Bible History listed many contradictions in it. A book Billy Graham gave me lists more and glibly tries to explain them, but that isn't satisfactory. There are scientific inaccuracies galore as well. Geologists find no evidence of a world flood, and Noah's 450' Ark couldn't hold examples of 3,000,000 or so animal species that exist. It'd take at least 30 years to load a boat big enough to hold them. The deluge tale is just a copy of the story of Utnapishtam from the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh.

I don't believe the bible, but i do believe in a higher power that brought the world and everything else into existence. (big bang theory and not 7 days)
to believe the Noah's Ark story is to believe we all came from Adam and Eve. (really gross)
and if you read up in the bible about divorce Matthew said you can have a divorce and Jesus said no. what do we believe
Plus look at it this way, we have to be grateful for evil things, if there were none all would be good and we wouldn't appreciate everything good if there was nothing to compare it to. You can't appreciate light if you don't know what darkness is.
plus you can get off your pedestal, "and walked away from you lot." he walked away from you too

the full factor is made up and man made. Why else could God be like us? by using fact we made him up! faith replaced into made to scare and administration primitive human beings. It amazes me how gullible some unquestionably everyone seems to be. I save listening to some human beings say that Jesus pronounced i'm the way and the existence. think of roughly this. some guy comes alongside and says i'm the way and the existence and human beings in simple terms believed him? The bible is crammed with stuff that's in simple terms BS. So Jesus ought to stroll on water, feed hundreds with a unmarried loaf of bread, heal the ill and carry the ineffective yet, he could not cope with 3 nails? provide me a destroy. The bible is the Harry Potter e book of those instances and human beings are in simple terms so gullible. not announcing there isn't a God ( for loss of a extra suited word) yet whilst there is, i'm surprisingly confident it rather is not what unquestionably everyone thinks that's.

FIRST OF ALL IT IS NOAH!
I am not sure what you are asking...
IF "GOD" should have waited a bit for NOW and NOW kill people who are more of "SINNERS" then back then?
I guess the other GODS got together and told him to stop fooling around like that!
It was not nice to make floods on people when HE gave us free well in the first place!
So they took away his FLOOD MAKING RIGHTS and told him to behave!
He tried again though...
On the poor people in India and again in New Orleans and Florida...
Sneeky Sneeky...
So you all better watch out...
HE knows where to HIT with the FLOODS...
He is coming after SIN CITY NEVADA NEXT...
LOL!
And if the OTHER GODS are not watching him he might strike
Again anytime...
SO anyone named NOAH out there better start making a ARK...
40 cubits by 40 cubits...
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin cubitum elbow, cubit
: any of various ancient units of length based on the length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger and usually equal to about 18 inches (46 centimeters)
And collecting animals two by two!

The great flood was a result in a race that was called the "Nephilim" wish were the offspring of Angels and Human women. God had "Watchers" looking over us at one time, and it was these very watchers that saw how beautiful the human women were and they decided to take them. Their offspring were of gigantic proportions, and were an abomination. Between the sons of God and their offspring, they had infiltrated every tribe least Noah was the only one left that had untainted blood. The great flood was planned to wipe out this abomination.

Well you're right about that. I think it is a thousand times worse now. We do have the freedom to make choices, we make them hundreds of times a day. Most of the time people will choose to do what suits them or promotes their own desires. I'm guilty of that too...I don't always do as I know I should, and I love God and think His ways are better than my ways.
God gives us choice and we often choose to sin. That's why we need a savior. What God did, the flood...is nothing compared to what will happen during the tribulation period. The bible says it will be a horrible time, unlike any ever seen on earth. I hope you won't be caught in it, not knowing Jesus as your savior.
