SO -= if the great flood had happened - it would represent BY FAR - that largest mass murder of Innocent children and babies who could not have done anything to deserve being drowned. This is simply mass murder on a giant scale. THe bible says that the son is NOT resposible for the sins of the father - and one cannot say that these children WOULD HAVE done something wrong -because they would never have had the chance to do so. THE flood - of it had happened - is simply a mass murder by the god.
A Christians rebuttal is simple here. god sent the flood at the right time; somehow by miracle of god there were no babies on earth at the time of the great flood.
Of course - a miracle of such magnitude would surely be noted in the bible itself - and it is NOT. CHristians often attempt to add something to the bible that is NOT THERE - and that claim is just another rewriting of the bible
