The earth was flooded yesterday in Asia.
There was a tsunami two years ago.
Belgium is being flooded to this day.
Tell me that is a reference to the writings in the bible. I will tell you you are wrong. Sorry for the confusion.
Are there more sinners born a minute, than there are non-sinners?
Look to the future. Will there be more sinners than there are now?
Will their sins get worse as their numbers grow?

First, I want to say I'm a Christian, so I hope you don't mind me answering. After reading a lot of these answers, I want to say there is geological evidence of a world wide flood. There's a sedimentary layer that goes around the world. There are sea shells on top of mountains. When animals die, they normally don't turn into fossils, they rot away, unless they are quickly covered by sediment.
As far as there being more sinners now or then? Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". So everyone who has ever lived has sinned, you, me, the people around us, all the people in Noah's day, even Noah and his family. All are sinners. The fact that Noah and his family were saved, and the rest of humanity was destroyed, had nothing really to do with sin, but that's for another question which I'm sure someone will ask.

By your question you are refering to one flood and one flood only. The earth has been flooded many times, although not all at once. The 'Great Flood' you are speaking about is a myth that has been circulated for about 7000years around the time when the black sea was flooded very quickly from a breach in the land bridge that seperated if from the mediterranian.
Since I dont believe in God, I do not believe in 'your' sins therefore I can honestly say; who cares!

Is there any evidence that the world was flooded? No. Is there evidence that the current sea levels were lower before the end of the last ice age? Yes.
What happened? The ice melted and the seas rose and some of the ancestors of people today living in the sea coasts of that time ran like hell... and told people their stories. After a few thousand years the story grew.

I never new that the world had flooded? Where did you get that info?
Please give a link or a book other then the bible that says it happened? I think this is just one more of the fairytales you find in that book. Get rid of that thing it is brainwashing so many poeple with nonsense and fooling kids into believing things that never happened. And is starting wars all over the world because of the brainwashing.

there's more sinners now because there are more people on earth. but if there was a higher percentage of the population who's sinning then or now, I don't know.
maybe I shouldnt have answered because I'm not atheist?

I am not an Atheist but I don't believe they give any thought to "sin".
To me "sin" is a negative christian term assigned to being human and doing something Christians determine to be bad.
However, I do live by good ethics--that is a different category.

I don't think you'll find many atheists that believe the Biblical flood. You silly little puppy! Awwww you're so cute!

There are more sinners now, especially among us, the false believers of the One True God, those who have not learned and have not put His teachings into practice.

Well, the Earth wasn't flooded, so your question is moot.
