No
All the people that were rebelling were already doing that so God killed them for evil minds continually; Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
And also violent; Genesis 6:11The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
The Angels that fell did fall a long time before this, they were deceived by the Lie the Devil did tell in the Beginning of time; Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Here is a metaphor for Satan(dragon) telling a lie( the tail is a tale) in Heaven to cause 1/3 of the Angels(became demons in fallen state) to fall from their original estate; Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
If I would have rebelled I would not know what these verses do mean
Also MY theory is that Man did destroy mankind, but God being God knew the time and place this would happen so he got a crazy man to build a boat as a way of escape out of what mankind was doing to himself; 1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Noah tryed to tell others but NO ONE LISTENED and they all died for it. Now this event was so important that Jesus Christ when he died went to Hell and told them guys that did not listen to Noah how wrong they were also; I Peter3: 18For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

You ask this with the misplaced premise that rebellion occured after God placed man on earth, which assumption is bunk.
While in the presence of God, endowed with perfect understanding and given the chance to inquire as to the particulars, Lucifer and his ilk decided they knew better than God and that forcing mankind to obey was the only way. Seeking all the glory for himself, he rebelled, for the which he was cast down.
Ask yourself how many times you've criticized the actions of ANY leadership figure (president, parent, teacher, civic leader, club officer, ad infinitum). Truly you must admit that you did so because you thought you could do better and because you, if only for a moment thought YOU should be in their office instead of them, attained by all the glory of said title.
Pride cometh before the fall.
You KNOW God doesn't exist? You'd damn better be right.
If you KNOW God doesn't exist, why the donut are you asking questions in religion and spirituality when obviously the very notion of a concept offends your very being? Stop trying to incite believers or put them down for their beliefs. Go hang in sections of this forum with like-minded people instead.

No, because angels are created differently than humankind. Their essence is praise and worship. Iblis only rebelled because of his love for God and that he didn't want to bow down to Adam, who he looked upon as unworthy.

careful, they dont know what hypothetical means. everytime i ask a hypothetical question they respond with, "that cant be, the bible says so..." *sigh*
depends, seeing as the bible said that angels came down and took women as their wives, if i was an angel who had my eyes on a woman, and he flooded them and killed her, yes. i would rebel. ... he killed my mortal woman =\

No! We are supposed to trust that God knows what he is doing in ALL things!

Angels cannot rebel, they are "robots" with a mission

yes i would have because even god has stated in the work of fiction that thou shalt not kill. why should i worship a person who can't follow his own rules.
