The stated reason for the flood was to rid the world of wickedness, evil, violence and corruption (Gen 6). This is the Almighty creator of the Universe's plan for ridding his creation of wickedness.
Question:
Did it work?
Oh, but don't you see? That's man's fault. God can make everything perfect, and man just fucks it up with his imperfect nature. Never mind the fact that god is omniscient and knows it won't work. He did it anyway, and who are we to question? It's all our fault, and who are you to question god for using methods that he knew wouldn't work?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
