You do realize that the world being flooded over happened millions of years before man ever existed, right? And the whole "weeks in God's time" is a bad argument since time is a manmade creation of measurement and God is supposed to be unconstrained by the dynamics of our universe. (Think about it. Do you really have a schedule if you transcend time and space and have no beginning and have no end?).
You need to read world history a tad bit closer, the great flood was more recent than a million years, and multiple scientist speculate it has something to do with the world tilt angle which use to be at 0 degrees WRT the sun. Popular theory holds a huge meteor impact in the ocean caused the tilt, of I believe 15 degrees and eventually it stabilized at the the present angle, and the oceans sloshed all over the planet. Further this date is much more recent time within the last 30-40,000 years, this time is at present a estimate only.
The passage of Time is not a fixed unit, set 2 precision clocks on earth, send one into orbit for any extended period, bring it back and there will be a significant difference between the two. So if we can prove and NASA has that passage of time is not fixed, and is in accordance to your location...
That Scientist have stated (ever watch NOVA or Discovery) that multiple dimensions exist outside our reality...
So then just why is it so hard to speculate that God exists in a realm that is outside our normal time continuum?
And then there are some people who never asked to be born. Some people are born to crack prostitute mothers and grow up on the streets starving and afraid. Children grow up having to sell their bodies just to stay alive while your typical overweight WASP family goes into a giant church in suburbia to sing praises and hand over tons of money to maintain this dwelling that could be put to better use.
No, I don't think God deserves praise if he allows even one child to go through this kind of existence while others live in luxury who have probably never worked for their living.
So you are saying someone who is not conceived to a Ozzie and Harriet home should never been born, that God should just kill them outright to save them the grief of being alive in a not ideal world.
Life is what you make of it, nothing is just freely handed to you,( that is unless you are a democrat and expect free stuff for nothing). Again it's the free will thing that steps in here, so the mother accepted evil, that may or may not be the kids path in life through strength of character they could become anything they want, but it is their choice not hers.
True story time again, there is this kid that I accept like a son born of to a cousin that married low life white trash. He was raised in the give me free stuff, and why work when I can get free stuff environment. His life was miserable, wore out cloths n shoes, hungry most of the time so dad could drink and chain smoke, dirty, squalid home, stank like cat piss real bad, to the point it made my eyes watter any time I went there, terrible schools with drug dealers, high crime, street gangs, and not inspired teachers who just passed the kids to get them out of the way.....
I would on occasion take him under my wing as a young child and show him the other side of the coin, kind of like the 'Big Brothers (one outstanding group) association" it was only a few times a year she would let me do this but I persisted.....
When he turned 18 he had two paths to chose...
1. stay home, join a gang sell dope,and become White trash....
2. Get out of dodge, go make something of his life....
He chose NO 2, through strength of character he joined the army,(much to his mother chagrin) became a lifer, is a Sargent is stationed in Iraq (3rd tour there) now, has saved many lives in service to his country, and will be retiring in about a year. So you are saying although he never chose to be born, lived in misery as a child, God should have just out and killed him.... Real bad thought process that.....
