The international large flood was once now not an selection whether a judgment. God does now not have alternatives. He waited 2000 years after coming up guy to instruct back from sin. After telling Noah approximately the flood, God waited yet yet another one hundred years as Noah preached warning human beings approximately sin and the arrival judgment. no person listened. some human beings might have suggestion there was once no God. some might have suggestion God isn't so mean that he might desire to flood the international and ruin the coolest purchase purely thinking that of sin. some others won't have believed Noah's preaching in any admire - they might have mocked at this historic guy for nagging them approximately sin. yet that did not distinction God's judgment. God approach what he says. purely like judges we see in courts at modern. They mean what they are asserting. while you're desperate breaking the legislations, the bypass judgement on will throw you in reformatory - it does now not subject count what we evaluate of the bypass judgement on (he does now not care what we evaluate of him), it does now not subject count whether or not we assume we can be waiting to be punished. those are between the easy records of existence from which we can't ruin out. Its like leaping off a chief cliff. in case you are trying this, you will die (that could be a common end consequence). we can't blame gravity for being so mean so which you will kill a individual leaping off a cliff. we can't blame the cliff. interior the comparable potential, we can't blame God for His judgment. human beings have considerable time and considerable warning till now than God sends judgment. people who pay concentration get to maintain a lot of their souls. people who don't get to stand the consequences. God can't be fooled. What a individual sows, he will income.

Paul states in his letter to the Romans that God among all the solutions he saw chose the one solution that produced the most results according to his purpose. Since we are here the solution you stated met his criteria.
Ask yourself this question, if God had erased Adam and Eve and made another pair of human beings - had he really solved the problem that had arisen? No!
If you read the first few chapters of the book of Job, you'll see that Satan didn't challenge God's power! He would have been toast!
Satan challenged 2 things,
1. that man would give everything to safeguard his possessions.
2. that man would do / give anything to save his life
These challenges could not be met by simply destroying Satan or by creating a new human couple. Thus the now several thousands court case has been going on and is finally coming to its end in this time of the end of our system of things.

Furthermore, why didn't God see that the new life after the flood would only result in more "sin"? If God knows everything, didn't he know what would happen after the flood -- regardless of wiping out the population and starting over? I hardly think that he needed to do a science experiment to get results, if there is any credibility to that story (which, as you can tell, I do not believe.)

Yep, as soon as Noah got off the Ark, the first thing he did was to take some drugs, take off his clothes and dance in the tent for his boys to see.

He must not have, since it didn't work. Plus I thought he needs to have evil so you can have free will.
