God won the battle but lost the war
I went searching around EvC and found a topic that was similar to this that was started in 2002 and closed later that year for going off topic.
That would be my Assuming the flood was real topic. It actually survived for 2 years, but was probably off-topic for much of that. See the early part of the topic.
I say the flood had no effect beyond a temporary cutting back on the population. Human nature remained the same after the flood, as it was before the flood.
The flood was God's war to eliminate the infidels. Much damage resulted, but the core of the infidels lived on.

Re: God won the battle but lost the war
As in my topic (Assuming the flood was real), I'm approaching this purely as a philosophical/theological question (and it is in the "Faith and Belief" forum - not one of the science forums).
I think any considerations of the worldly reality of the flood are off-topic. I think your message 1 indicated such an intent, and I might suggest that you add an "off-topic disclaimer" note to your message (or should I ?).
