Wouldn't it have worked? Didn't they know how to crucify people back in those days? Couldn't they just have drowned Jesus instead. But then what would we ware on a chain around or neck? A little bottle of water maybe. Just think though baptism would have a whole new significance.

omg i totally agree! and you know how only 2 of each kind of animal survived, what about the rest of the sweet little innocent animals!!?? i also find it hard to believe only 1 person on the whole of earth was 'good' and the rest were 'evil' no-one's perfect, and there is an in between. also, it's impossible that noah wouldn't have passed out from the the animals poo stink, and a boat that size wouldn't have made it, what did the animals eat? how could all the other kids have been evil when a baby's say: 1 year old??!!!! that story is sooo annoying and i dont believe it, not that i have anything against christians, i have loads of lovely christian friends. yes, god could have sent down jesus. personally, i think the bible is manmade and some old guys thought up stories and wrote them in, and they never even happened. no offence but that sahaja yoga guy need 2 calm down about saving the world and enjoy life.

I've always wondered why go through that whole elaborate flood thingie if you wanted to wipe out mankind but leave everything else?
Why didn't god just zap everyone with a simultaneous bolt of lightning? Poof - two seconds and you're ready to start over, no waiting for Noah to build an ark, gather all the critters, fill the whole frikkin planet with a brazillian tons of water, and all that malarkey.
Or if the lightning is too showy, why not a plague? Surely god could create a plague that would wipe out all the people, and leave all the happy critters.
And why keep Noah at all? The bible sure doesn't present much evidence of his goodness. After landfall he shows himself to be a lazy butted, mean-spirited drunk who's probably diddling his daughters. That's the best god could come up with?
If he created Adam and Eve in less than a day out of some dirt, why not just erase 'em all and start over fresh? Maybe work out some of those design flaws in version 2.0 (crappy eyes, chokes on food, bad backs, pelvis too small for baby head, etc.).
I've never been able to figure out what metaphorical lesson the whole Noah's flood thing was supposed to teach, other than 'sometimes god's a dick, so you might want to carry an umbrella'.

You know a few rules or guidelines before killing people would've really been nice. Forget Jesus at least give the folks some idea of what constitutes a good person and whats constitutes an evil one!
Are laws before you commit genocide to much to ask for?
From this God I guess so!

Noah was not sent by God to save the sinners but he is a creature like us who has good deeds. During his time when people are not believing God and doing things against God, It was Noah who was ordered by God to make a ship (arch) for him and his family and to gather all living creatures of God to be placed with them on the ship (arch), because God had planned to punish all the sinners of earth at the time by way of flooding the whole world. And it was done, until all men and other living creatures were dead except Noah
and his family and the living creatures taken by Noah inside his ship (arch)
After the time of Noah, again the men who have occupied the whole world are going against God orders and laws and are committing sin against God. So God have decided to send His Son, Jesus Christ to earth, to be born as man in order to save the sinners, but the Jews who do not believe him , nailed him to the cross which caused his death and this was written on the gospel by the prophecy of men.
And because Jesus is the Son of God who was sent by Him as our saviour, He rose from the dead after three days from his death, then He descended to Heaven and sit at the right hand of God.
But still we continue to commit sin and many of us still do not believe God, Jesus will be coming to earth for the second time to judge us of our sins. Men whose sins were forgiven maybe judged to go to Heaven with God for eternal life while those whose sins were not forgiven because they do not believe God will suffer the penalty of heat on the lake of fire eternally. and that will be the end of the world. No more earth to live.

If you read the bible then you would see that it says God tried to connect with the people. He tried to turn them back but they refused to listen. He warned them That their wicked ways would lead to death but they didn't listen. No one would have followed Jesus because they didn't believe in God anymore. And the small fact that Crucifixion didn't exist yet. Hope that helped :)

The DNA had Reached the "end of Humanity", cept' Noah and his kin. They were worth to be kept. A man or woman is a Spirit, with a Soul and lives in a body. in the previous, you purchased kept by technique of Believing in "GOD Almighty". GOD made certain you've been kept in case you Believed in HIM (the daddy). Now, the angels got here down and blended with human beings, corrupting their DNA. yet, the issue is: they did not have self assurance in GOD Almighty "besides". See? DNA became Corrupted, yet they did not "have self assurance". ok. Violence became everywhere in the Earth. (how ought to you want to stay in a international, like that?) genuinely, GOD did not launch the Flood---see, GOD placed Spirutal guidelines into effect on the earth---befor HE placed "mankind" on it. You acquire What you've Sown--works everyTime. ultimately you'll acquire what you've Sown. did you comprehend that The Earth is Repelled by technique of the sinning of Mankind, on the earth??? And, it is going to---ReCompensate. it extremely is why we've EarthQuakes, Storms so on, in this Earth. That era of BEINGS sinned a lot, that They extra Down---"The Flood". and they DESTROYED THEMSELVES----so do not BLAME "GOD ALMIGHTY". So There. So,what-ever you PUMP into This "Universe"----WILL come decrease back to you. (it is intense Stuff) do no longer Blame----"The author" HE Designed "IT"---and "YOU" function "IT". Ditto. Nuff suggested.....

Everone didn't drown it was a regional not global event.
The Romans are the ones who used crucifiction.
Actually stoning or stabbing was more in fashion at the time as means to kill someone.
