This implies that god is not all powerful because he cannot do what his nature does not dictate. And, if it was true innocent children wouldn't have died in the great flood.
God is limited by logic.
If God knew that the children were innocent he wouldn't have killed them. As you can't know if they were innocent then you don't have enough knowledge to make that statement.

Why?
Would you say that about the creator of the landmine, or any sort of torture device?
But this is the first cause. If there were anything negative about it nothing would have been created.
