OK Norm, I'll give your stuff a shot.
God is perfection and as such, His standard of behavior is the same.
His greatest gift of mercy is taking our place of punishment.
God's Justice demands punishment for wrongs, He offers mercy in the place of punishment to us.
All of you chaff at the injustice in the world. I see it every day here.
All of you concentrate on God's all knowing while leaving out God's justice.
A gross error.
The legal systems of earth (as screwed up as they are) recognize both punishment and capitol punishment as viable forms of dealing with evil.
You are self deceived to think evil can just be glossed over.
Now, go and read Genesis for the source of events before the flood.
Interestingly scientists today are manipulating the building blocks of life (like DNA) in the same way as the pre-flood world was messed with (same demons blowing influence in people's ears - different day).
Why God wiped everything out instead of some other way?
I do not know.
Like one of your mentors said, "We're working on it".
I have enough confidence in HIM whom I have believed to trust His decisions.
