a)put the clean silver from the dishwasher into the drawer with the contaminated stuff hoping that the raw chicken juice won't make everyone sick.
b) throw absolutely everything out and buy everything new?
c)sterilize (wash with water and soap) everything in the drawer being careful not to contaiminate the clean silver you still have?
Or if you need to go back to your garden, you select a herbicide that targets the specific weed, or if it is really bad you get a general purpose herbicide that will kill everything except your select foliage. which again is similar to what God had done.
Truthfully we will never fully understand the evil this world was full of in this life. Humanity was not the only thing God was trying to get rid of. their was a stain brought on by sin that touched just about everything alive in one way or another. It all had to be sterilized.
But according to your religion, nothing was sterilised. Original Sin is allegedly still with us. It's the central selling point of this Jesus thing. And to hear some of your team's mouthpieces, the world is at least as sin-ridden as it was in Noah's day, if not worse. The flood achieved just as much as the evidence it left.
Here's the thing...
The doctrine of "Original Sin"... Not ever mentioned once in the bible ever. Matter of Paul teaches the oppsite, in that what happened in the garden did not 'stain all of humanity with sin.' It made is aware of it, and therefore when we are able to full comprehend sin, then we are then made to account for our own sin. It's kinda the NT model that the 'sins of the Father are not Passed down to the son."
All of that aside what was sterilized at the flood put Made made in the Image of God at the top of the food chain, or rather in control and in charge of this world.
