It cleanse the whole earth of the nephilim, these were the offspring of angels. Some angels in heaven looked down and noticed the beauty of the daughters of men and these angels forsook their heavenly bodies and materialised human bodies and married these women and their offspring were giant in size and violent. Genesis 6:1-4 These angels now are demons are will be destroyed with Satan.
God cleansed the earth of these abominations and the filled earth of wickedness by flood. Noah (and consequently his family) were the only righteous people on the entire earth. (Genesis 6:8)
and God made provisions for their survival.
Today many righteous people are scattered over the earth doing God's will so the entirety of the earth is not as wicked as before and God promised not to flood the Earth again.

If you read the opening verses of Genesis 6, where the flood events begin, the reason that God gives for the flood is not sin. It was because "sons of God" (who according to the New Testament were actually fallen angels) had began to have intercourse with human women. The results was genetic defects introduced into the human genome that threated to destroy the entire human race within a handful of generations. That is why God said that mankind only had 120 years left to exist (See verse 3).
Noah and his family were spared because they were not only morally pure and obedient to God, but genetically pure. None of them carried any of the deformed genes.
So God's actions saved the human race from extinction, and eliminated generations of disease, suffering, pain and death by stopping the spread of the defective genes.
As the human race is still around today, it was apparently very effective.
When you read all of "the book", you will find all of the answers...

I don't think it was a failure. God got fed up with the people and they're horrible ways. He could only find one man and his three sons (plus all their wives) who were blameless (this doesn't mean perfect. It just means God knows our hearts and he knows when we mean well and when we are trying to do right by God). He couldn't find any other God-fearing person in the whole world. So he destroyed everything. I don't think he did it thinking that everything would be perfect after. Once Adam and Eve sinned, the perfect paradise world was non-existant. God just became wrathful and then promised that he'd never destroy the world again. I don't know why he promised that when he knew we would only get worse. Maybe he just didn't want to destroy his creation over and over again. Maybe he wanted there to be another way...But bottom line - no I don't think it was a failure because his intention wasn't to make the world perfect or make the people obey better.

God did no longer fail. while He sent the flood, that replaced into by using fact all people on earth replaced into sinful. and that i do no longer mean in basic terms the occasional sin. They did detrimental, detrimental, issues. They mocked God and an excellent form of alternative terrible issues. the only relatives interior the international who served God replaced into Noah. that's why God stored Him. His plan replaced into to no longer rid the international of sin yet to create the international yet lower back.

If you wanted to get rid of the fruit flies in the house and and not remove the fruit would the flies come back? Same thing , God got rid of wickedness but not the devil. The devil still rules the world, Only for a short time. You wanted it short and simple.

I think that He was just making a point. It takes death and loss to begin again (gotta lose the old before starting the new). Next time he comes back with fire and a sword......

I don't know. Maybe for the same reason that his plans for Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden were a big fat flop.

Because man is born in sin. We are of a sinful nature. It is SIN that separates us from God. SIN means "falling short of the Glory of God", hence why we needed Jesus to pay the price for us.

Well, duh.
Cause then the pure blood of Jesus's sacrifice to cleanse the world of sin would have been useless and he could have remained fun and smite-happy.
Now he's just a boring old coot.
The Bible gives MIXED MESSAGES! :O
