You. God is sinless. He does as He pleases. That's what makes Him God. We don't question God. He knows better than we do. Considering He created it, He can do whatever He wants (or what is necessary) with it.

God did not drown everything(one) on the planet. Man was totally evil at that time before the flood "...and that every intent of of the thoughts of his heart were was only evil continuously." nasb
I don't know you or anything about you, but by default you would have to be more evil. No offense intended.

You. And me. And every other human that ever lived. Human nature is inherently evil. That is why God brought the flood. Evil. And BTW, He did not drown everything on the planet. Eight people & at least two of every animal were spared.

We can't know evil without also knowing good. Floods are natural events knowing neither good or evil. It was evil of man to create a God that reflected his arrogance and self righteousness......Only man could give God EGO.

With due respect to you, you already know deep down the true answer to your own question.
For something to be good there can be no evil in it.
Hence we know that there is only one good.
Early on, when the language of English was first forming, it was stabilised by being recorded at a point in history, in print, in a book that was made available to great masses of people for their reference.
The book that I am referring to is the Authorised or King James Version of the Bible.
Although that book was not the first English book of Holy Scriptures, it stood the test of time and carried on the traditional language outreach for quite a long time, although it was somewhat antiquated in its own presentation compared to the ordinarily used English language of 1611AD when it was released.
This book carried on an earlier tradition of using an Anglo-Saxon word, the ordinary noun for "good", as the proper noun to translate the words, "Eloah, (Allah), Elohym" from Hebrew and Chaldean, and "Theos" from the ordinary Greek as it was used in Jesus' time. The word we have come to know as, "God".
The Hebrew and Chaldean words translate literally as, " the great powerful one, or ones", but in ordinary theologies have been taken to refer to the creator of all things with all "His" attributes. Hence the word God has been accepted for translating, "Elohym", the plural of "Eloah" (Allah). You could possibly exchange the word "God" in a lot of places in the scriptures with the words, "Motivator", "The Motivator", and "Motivation". This is made all the more plausible when we look at the Greek word, "Theos" (Fi-os), because it gets its roots from an earlier word which referred to the "placer" of things (including people etcetera), hence the "Motivator" (ho thios).
It is a great pity that the early translators mistranslated the earlier scriptures in places that referred to church authority, for instance, and in comparison of good and evil. It has to be remembered that the two are opposing entities. Something is either good or it is not. Something is either evil or it is not. There is no blurring of the distance between these extremes.
So we can't rightfully say that something or someone is better or worse than something or someone else unless we are referring to the extremes or else we allow ourselves the room to fall from a state of thankfulness to a state of revulsion.
If we say that we are better than someone else, then our pride gets the better of us.
If, say, we say that this plug fits better than that one into this socket, what we are really saying is "this plug fits the socket and that one does not!"
Should I be a disciple of Christ, that means that I choose to do as Christ Jesus would have me do. It does not mean that I am no longer sinning, or missing the mark, so to speak. What it does mean is that I am a struggler, one of some few who have been referred to as Christians. Take that as either complimentary or otherwise. The term "Christian" was first applied to Christ's disciples in Antioc, and it was referring derogatively towards them by people who wouldn't choose to struggle against doing their sins for reasons of self-comfort and pleasure.
Satan is the name given to the prince of delusion, the one who counters Godly passions, the one who would have us scandalize others and do them harm. His pride is what brings Satan down.
What was the fastest vehicle known in Jesus' time?
What was it's fuel?
It was the vehicle belonging to Satan.
Jesus saw Satan fall from the sky like lightening!
(You might like to refer to Dr Luke's writings in the New Testament. Chapter 10, verse 18.)
Satan's vehicle was disgrace!
His thankless vehicle was fuelled by pride!
We all have potential
when we compare ourselves to what is good!
We can either aim ourselves towards what is good
(as we are called to do by God),
or we can aim ourselves at what is evil
(as we are called to do by Satan).
By the way,
God the Almighty did not drown everything on the planet,
and neither did you, Eh?
Yes, and you can be a struggler too.
Just think of the good influence you could have on others, Eh?
Wouldn't it be great?
I thank you in my lord Jesus' name for giving me this opportunity to invite your wholehearted good participation.
Who knows...maybe someone might, one day, call you a "Christian" too! (Now don't choke, laughing!!!)
