only 8 people were saved, and when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, only a small number were saved, so why did God make humans, since most of them will probably just end up in Hell???

When He created the world, it was perfect. God told Adam and Eve not to eat of the tree of good and evil. They disobeyed God and ate of it any way. That was the first sin. God gave us free will to either obey or disobey Him. He wants us all to obey Him and go to heaven, but it is our choice. During Noah's time the world was so bad that He destroyed it with the flood. God told the people He was going to do it. If they obeyed Him then they could have been saved too. Just like today, God is telling people to turn from their wicked ways and turn to Him. People are not listening. The end result is them going to Hell for the rest of their lives. That is not God's choice, man makes that choice. God wishes that none will perish. That is why He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross for our sins. So that we can have eternal life and live with God forever.

When God created humans, He gave them free will. He wanted them to CHOOSE to obey Him and love Him. But, then sin entered into the world through Adam via satan, and everything changed. We all have a choice. We can OBEY God, and get into Heaven, or, we can live our lives for ourselves, not even ackowledging God, and be on the path to destruction.
GOD DID GIVE EVERYONE A WAY OUT OF HELL. HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST. HE CAME AND DIED ON THE CROSS SO WE COULD BE FORGIVEN, AND BY HIS GREAT MERCY AND GRACE, WE HAVE A WAY TO HEAVEN. JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM. CHOOSE JESUS AND CHOOSE ETERNAL LIFE. This was God's plan of SALVATION. Now you know you have a way out of Hell, what are you going to do? God Bless

The Old Testament had a different way to go to Heaven called sacrifice. That was animal sacrifice. Man couldnt make it so in the New Testament He gave the total sacrifice....Jesus. Now you just accept Him as Son of God in your heart and its that easy. So you dont have to end up in hell. You have a choice.

What, you wanted Him to just start off with Noah and the flood? That isn't a very nice way to kick off the creation of the Earth, now, is it?

The wages of sin is death, not life in torment
(Romans 6:23) For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.
The dead rest unconscience in hell., hades, sheol. Awaiting a resurrection.
(Psalm 89:48) What able-bodied man is there alive who will not see death? Can he provide escape for his soul from the hand of She´ol? Se´lah.
(John 5:28-29) Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.
(John 11:24-25) Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life;
(Revelation 20:13-14) And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Ha´des gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. 14 And death and Ha´des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.

A flood is a cleansing of the negative energy collect
The only Hell is the one you create

It is not God's desire or intention for people to go to hell. We make that choice ourselves and it grieves God very much.

God kept hoping man would learn from his mistakes.

Because!
Because is the best answer you'll hear. Sure, you'll get some made up stuff, some other stuff that just begs to have 100000 more questions asked, etc. But, in the end, "Because" is all you'll need.
