Indeed, any rational person should be asking why doesn't "God" do any of the things it does in the mythology? In the stories, it could raze whole cities to the ground and sterilise the world under impossible amounts of floodwater.

It's the same reason why none of the actors who ever played Superman have demonstrated any of the character's "powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men" offscreen.
