Please point to me where it says in the bible that everyone that came after the flood were descendants of Noah. I just read the whole chapter again and I couldn't find anywhere where it says that. God told Noah and his family members to "be fruitful and multiply". Look, God created Adam and Eve from dirt. I don't see any reason why God couldn't have created other people after the flood. Just like every history book, the bible couldn't have recorded EVERY event and EVERY person.
I'm trying to see things your way, but I can't put my head that far up my ass.

Have you ever formatted your hard drive? You know for a fact that you will reinstall certain systems and add new files to the new OS. Yet, you insist on saving whatever you can from the old OS. That's just one possibility. Obviously, God could do whatever He wanted. The question is why not save Noah and his family? Why not save some animal?
God could simply have started everything again rather than going through the ludicrous Flood scenario we read in Genesis.
Yes, He COULD have.

Keeping parts is sure to cause problems again unless you were sure they were good. If things were so bad God should have 1 - stared all over again with a new GoE - this time without the tempting tree and maybe creating Sam and Julie instead.
Don't tell me you've never reformatted and saved some backup files from the old OS.
2 - eliminated only the bad parts - making all the sinners disappear. That sure would have made the good people sit up and notice.
And I'm pretty sure if God had done what you proposed you'd be complaining why God didn't do it in more of a flashy way to get our attention. Admit it. No matter how God had done it you'd be complaining anyway and suggest that you have a better way at doing it. Edited by Taz, : No reason given.

Re: Reason?!

I wasn't referring to the knowledge of the author. I was referring to the technical part of it. Just how would you suggest cramming everything about everything about every person that has ever lived in the entire span of human history into a book or series of books in a practical sense? Even today in the digital age such a detailed historic record would be unreasonable to ask for.

Ok, how about you suggest a better way at recording the Biblical history that includes the entirety of human history right down to each individual person and every single detail in a small enough volume so that it could be passed down from one generation to the next.

I choose to dodge your questions. Anyway, read my new proposed topic about the literalness of the bible here.

dbs944, it's a question of faith. You want to go to the feary pit of hell or the eternal blissed heaven?
