Why did God make a promise that he would never flood the earth again and all we here on the news is people looseing their homes and suffering due to floods.

God just loves playing in his big bath in the sky, sometimes he get's so excited the water slops over the side and people in boscastle lose all there possession.
Oh, who is a silly God.

God not at all pronounced that Noah's rainbow could be the only one. It grow to be only the 1st one. Why? through fact only before the Flood, it had not at all rained earlier. Gen 2:4 ¶ those [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth while they have been created, interior the day that our lord god made the earth and the heavens, Gen 2:5 and each plant of the sphere earlier it grow to be interior the earth, and each herb of the sphere earlier it grew: for our lord god had no longer brought about it to rain upon the earth, and [there grow to be] no longer a guy to until at last the floor. Gen 2:6 yet there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the entire face of the floor.

first of all no one has the right to question God!!! and God has never flooded the whole earth like He did during the time of Noah.
but to answer your question; God did not make any promise that He has not kept, listen here to this passage of the Bible; Genesis 8:21-22 the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.i
if you read the book of Genesis chapter 6 you ll see why God destroyed the Earth with water. but afterwards when Noah offered sacrifice to God , God was pleased and He vowed never to destroy "all" living thing as He has done. also if you read further you see that He said that there ll be summer, winter etc so God is in control and His word is true and sure i believe what you should do is look around and see if God has failed you and i know he hasn't.
cheers

God dosen't create the floods you hear about on the news, but he does control how much flooding is happening. His promise was not to flood the entire planet and wipe out humanity. He has kept that promise.
Natural selection also plays a big part in nature, not survival of the fittest but more like NOT being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I guess luck plays a big part in all our lives.

God did indeed promise that he will not destroy this earth again by a flood, & God has not broken his promise, You miss what his promise was, Not to destroy the earth again by a flood, Even though you see floods today does not mean God has broken his promise, I see no where that this Planet as a whole or in simple terms See God again flooding the whole earth again. Flooding certain portion is not flooding the whole earth.

If you had read the passage in the Old Testament correctly, you would notice that He promised never to flood the EARTH again. That means, the entire world. Not just a country, city, state or what-have-you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma (of the sacrifice)…Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth…I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you…Never again will -->all life<-- be cut off by the waters of a flood;
never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth…
This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind.
------>Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life." <-----
(Gen. 8:21; 9:1,9,11-15)

The flood God was talking about was the one where only Noah, his family and the animals in the ark survived. It was a world wide flood not just a local flood. God promised never to flood the entire earth again and He has kept that promise.

I believe in God, and Love God, but you are taking notice of man's words, not Gods, and in truth it is very doubtful that the whole earth has ever been flooded due to rain fall, and this can be proven. Without the ice caps melting there is not enough water to do so.
Love & Peace

Because you take the bible writtings in a litteral way, while it was not the intent. Bible express things with a limited knowledge of how the world was working inside an even more limited non technical vocabulary.... So this flood has never really occur (the one to wipe out all the planet), so the next one, will never too!!

God was specifically referring to the type of world-wide wiping out of all people flood described in Genesis.

He promised he would never cause there to be a worldwide deluge like the great flood of noah's day. The floods we see today are not anywhere near the scale of that flood nor are they caused by God.
