Literal belief in the flood story

[RobbyPants]

Are you proposing you strawman me?

True. I'm sorry about that. In all honesty it was as much an insight into what the accusation of God's character would be had He told Noah to go take peoples children as it was a counterargument. Though I'm seeing that perhaps your counterargument would be something like "they (the children) could have magically appeared on the ark as soon as it started raining." But I won't assume and let you answer. If you propose Noah raise the children of the earth at the time, how would he get them in such a way so as to not be accused of kidnapping?

Two things:

1:
The answer doesn't particularly matter. God could have teleported them. God could have had them get there the same way he had the animals get there. He could have surrounded them with magic air bubbles that kept them aloft in the water and that magically floated toward the ark, where Noah would get them. This is the same god who supposedly created the universe from thought alone. The sky's the limit, here!

2:
I don't think focusing on kidnapping really matters.

• God could have told Noah to get the children. He told Abraham to sacrifice kill his son, and apologists don't see a problem with that. If God says "jump", Noah presumably says "how high?".
  
• Even still, while it might technically be "kidnapping", it would also be "saving kids lives". That's probably more important.
  
• CPS totally takes kids away from dangerous homes, and the parents were all described as "wicked to the point of needing to be killed".
  

Then please, elaborate. What is this magical third option of which you speak. If you can't explain how that's a false dilemma, then I can't take your accusation very seriously.

True. A couple options:
God orchestrated the timing of the flood in such a way that there was no person before the age of accountability at the time. None existed so as to drown.

While possible in the strictest sense of the word, it's doubtful. With more and more generations, they would start to all blend together, making there be children continuously. Case in point: my dad is a child from the oldest of seven children. He has a cousin who is the youngest of the youngest of those seven children. That kid (my dad's generation) is only five years older than me. My cousin is actually older than him, despite being a generation behind. So, for several generations, there was at least one person below the age of accountability just in my family alone.

The other problem with this is basically, God decides they're so bad that he needs to kill them all that he... waits for years until somehow all the generations are space out just so.

Oh, and there's no biblical support for it either. You're just making it up to try and make it so God didn't kill any children.

God did save them by having them brought up to Himself. In that He brought everyone before the age of accountability to heaven as soon as the door to the ark shut. None of them drown.

Again, no biblical support and you're making it up. This is the pretty much the exact thing I said should have happened in the OP.
