Are you often in the habit of punishing someone before they commit a crime? Are you saying that every single baby on the entire planet at the time of the flood would grow up to be like Hitler? How do you intend to demonstrate this to be true?
I actually already know how, but it'll be hilarious watching you trot out a completely circular argument without a hint of irony.
God is omniscient, duh. Before the crime after the crime is the same to Him. Therefore if he says this will happen if we do not take out these people, guess who gets taken out before sunset on the sabbath?
The hitler analogy is also a play on omniscience, or rather humanity's nearest approximation to it. In that if we have the benfit of future knoweledge (if you had a chance to kill baby hitler/knowing who he would become) would you?
If you know an out come of a singular human life was absolute and it served the greater good would you take a life is the question.. Then one step further would you take out a whole race of people if you knew for absolute certain they would doom the whole planet?
