God created Adam first, and permit Adam flow around to discover a suited helper, probable to coach Adam that there become not a suited helper between the animals, not by way of fact God did not be attentive to already. this way, while Even become created, Adam would be attentive to that Eve become created as a recent exceptionally for him. God variations His ideas merely while the situations substitute as an occasion, God can furnish a blessing to somebody, yet take it lower back while they advance a sinful lifestyles-type. God my decide directly to hold destruction on a sinful united states, yet substitute His ideas while they turn lower back to God. there is often a rationalization for God to alter His ideas.

God did not invent adam and eve, but the person who thought he knew it all and was writing the story of evolution had to start somewhere so he did what he had been doing for several months when writing the bible stories ; what he did not know - he made it up. It really is as simple as that although even the simplest minds cannot understand that concept.
Man is weak and has to have something to look up to, so he invented higher beings.
So if anything goes wrong, well, it cannot be his fault, can it?
It`s called `passing the buck.` And if their gods do not come across with the goods, well, it`s `god`s will.` And if he does come up with the goods, it`s a MIRACLE! And that proves alone that he exists!!
That `god` cannot lose. In fact, he/she can kill 250,000 people in one tsunami wave and never take the blame for even one death.
After all, "It was `god`s will!!"
The game is easy, just make up the rules as you go along - neither you, nor your god, can lose.

he made everything for a reason.. Humans to praise him and worship him and spread his word. My bible teacher said there is a plan for everyone.. and even if u mess it up Jesus gives u a 2nd chance.. and a 3rd.. and so on.. he wanted Adam and Eve to populate the Earth. So when it got to Noah. He KNEW Noah and his family and his sons' wives, He knew they were the responsibe ones that could help the world start over..
Jesus believes everyone should have a chance.. even tho he knew Adam and Eve would sin.. he wanted to give them a chance

It is a myth and not a reality that Noah’s people were the only people on earth. Adam and Eve’s descendent must have been in many places besides the town of the people of Noah in middle east and possibly in northen Africa and in India.
It doesn't seem right to say that flood drowned entire world by the rain of seven days and nights.. For all people to die from flood the oceans had to rise 40 to 50 feet high to drown people who lived in higher plateaus of mountains also? Rain of seven days and nights wouldn't have possibly raised all oceans that high. As scientists say today that if all ice on arctic and anarctic melts the oceans will rise to 25 to 30 feet and that would be high enough to destroy all coastal lands.
With the lack of writing skills and no record keeping materials developed yet there were no record of civilizations or groups of people living on earth that scientists could have found. Who ever writes about the destruction of people of Noah write on the basis of their guess and thinking how things would have happened including myself basing the other facts coming in picture now by the archeological research of scientists.
The Flood must have been local in the area where Noah was living. Once I read an article written on this topic in which writer wrote that the area was the fertile land between the two rivers in Iraq probably long before the Babylonians civilization discovered so far. May be this area was fertile and supported large number of species of animals which were domesticated and Noah's wanted to save them so God allowed Noah to do so by building the ship larger enough to carry pair of each specy and the obedient followers of Noah.
God says in all three Heavenly Divine revelations that He will resurrect all humans with newer human bodies to be presented in front of God for Judgment of their conduct in their life on earth. God could again raise all animals also
if they would have perished in the worldwide flood completely.
Your words 'why bother' are troubling. You sound like putting God at human level and question like we question each other why did you bother creating in the first place as if you have seen real evidence with your eyes unfolding you what really happened due to that flood.
God tells us all past events to put human minds to continue research and try to find out ourselves past history of mankind for scholarship to continue and expand capabilities of human mind which is the greatest creation of God and must reach to its full capability as we are told that so far it has reached only upto 10% with all the scientific discoveries and achievement of man in 20th century. Now we can question also if really our mind has developed only at 10%. May be it has improved more than 10% already.

He wanted someone to talk to and to look after the earth. He also gave them the perfect world which they chose to give up when they took the Apple.
Comment about the love of a child is spot on too. If you have a child you love it no matter what... think how heart breaking it was for God to send his own son Jesus to Die for you and all the sin in your life? That must be some love he has for you to be able to do that.

Why bother creating anything faulty? Why litter the earth you've created six thousand years ago with dinosaur skeletons that seem to be millions of years old? Is someone pulling our leg here, or do we just need to take Genesis not so seriously?

I have two little girls. I know that one day they will dissapoint me, I know they will break my heart, I know they will hurt me. So why did I have them anyway, even though I knew these things?
Because of Love. It is greater than my hurts and dissapointments, and lives on while the hurts and pains will go away. I also know that I will feel great pride in them, overwhelming joy, everlasting confidence that I've done something well ... I've raised two pretty good people.

He didnt know that they were going to sin against him.
Genesis 6;3
Then God said, "My spirit must not forever be disgraced in man, wholly evil as he is. I will give him 120 years to mend his ways." In those days, and even after wards, when the evil beings from the spirit world were sexually involved with human women, their children became giants, of whom so many legends are told. When the Lord God saw the extent of human wickedness, and that the trend and direction of men’s lives were only toward evil, he was sorry he had made them. It broke his heart.

Why do people have children? I mean they might get in a car crash, overdose on drugs, get murdered etc.... They're going to die eventually aren't they? So why bother having them?
