Sometimes we waste hours and hours debating a subject like the flood, and the impossible scientific and evolutionary consequences that it entails. We go into great debates about how all of is is possible, what a "kind" means (species, obviously not)… etc…
But believers will not stop believing...
Simply, humanly. Why put pregnant women, babies, children, the elderly thru to horrors and anguish of drowning? Why the cruel end — it's not like they would learn any lesson! Noah, instead of having the ark and all the animals to take care of, could have concentrated more on his preaching…. Please tell me, if you are still a believer in God's Love — why does he feel the need to be so cruel, when he could clearly go about it differently?
And this is just ONE example... I could refer to Hosea and many others...
