Thank you Jim.
Some answers to this question serve as a chilling reminder of where dogma can lead. Suddenly innocence becomes meaningless. At least one answer insisted there were NO innocents, regardless of age or station. Others hid behind the "mysterious" motives of their God, who thus becomes at best amoral.
I for one could never place my trust in those who can find circumstances to justify genocide - regardless of the perpetrator's rank.

Just another example of fact and fiction being at odds with each other. Good thing too, otherwise we wouldn't know what's real and what's not. The god of the Bible is a "jealous" god. A priest even told me this (I guess he ought to know). He smites, bites, turns and burns, floods and draws blood. The ultimate terrorist -- obey or suffer eternal torture. Human life is worth nothing to him if he can drown the entire planet on a whim. Oh, except for Noah, I guess. That must have been one huge boat. And I would have left those two mosquitoes behind. What was Noah thinking? Fat lot of good they ever did anybody.

If there were any pregnant women on the earth when the flood came then yes they would of died. When God told Noah too build an ark, he had determined the world was to full of sin and that he would basically start over again with Noah and his family. Perhaps if the world was not full of sin, then God would of allowed more people to go on the ark with Noah and his family. So, yes if a woman was pregnant the child and her would of died, but God gave everyone a chance to decide how they would live their lives. Unfortunately, most of those on the Earth choose wrong.

properly the fetus has no unique sin so particular it is an harmless by utilising biblical standards and one might by utilising regulation of averages think of that a minimum of a few women have been pregnant on the time of the flood so particular he did kill harmless fetuses. So he could have concept it basically positive to kill the harmless with the depraved. actual compassionate god.

Fascinating question, really, even though it's basically rhetorical in nature (it assumes the answer "yes, because God sucks!")
For bonus points (I got in trouble for posting something to this effect in a chat room when I was 16 or so...):
Everyone descended from Adam & Eve, right? Inbreeding. Then the whole world went mad (probably from all the inbreeding), and God destroyed it. Noah & his wife were responsible for repopulating the whole world (again with the incest)!
What's up with that?

In Genesis it says "The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time."
What kind of parents are those? Better for that poor baby to die in it's mothers womb than to be born to such a wicked world, don't you agree?

Everyone died except for Noah's family, so yes.
Genesis 6:5 The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.

Yes they died. God did not see any other people than Noah, who would make Him smile. The choices of the parents can destroy children. Luckily all the children belong to God anyway. So there is no hell for babies. They are in the better place.

Yes. they did die. God did flood the earth and kill everyone and every animal that wasn't with Noah.
He did it because of the pure evil running rampant on the earth and promised he wouldn't flood it again.

Did the God flood and kill the fetus and the unborn. Why?
