I'm not recommending a literal or conservative stance but I'll take a try at
these just regarding it as a story and theology. I don't think it creates a
problem with fundamentalism except maybe an all-beneficent option."Why didn’t a god capable of such miracles simply with a “blink of an eye”
wipe the bad people off the face of the earth? Why would a perfect god incapable
of petty anger kill all life on earth over the acts of some bad people?Why not exnihilate a perfect heaven on Earth with perfectly ethical people if
He's all-beneficent? He's not, and people aren't, or we'd live in one. In the
OT, He's capable of getting PO'ed at what people do with their choices, and in
this story all but the little group became violently criminal. God would have
the prerogative to do with it all as He wants like me with the peds in GTA III
(welcome to the worst place in America)--why not kill them?"If god is capable of miracles to the extent the flood would indicate, why did
he require a wooden boats construction that took decades to build? Why did he
require them to gather food and supplies when he can provide food from heaven?Why train a dog to fetch when you can get things yourself? He wanted them to
show effort and not just concede to Him."If god spoke to Noah? – Genesis 6:13, Genesis 7:1 If god shut Noah in the
ark? – Genesis 7:16 If god remembered Noah? – Genesis 8:1 Then why was Noah
sending out birds to try to see if the water had receded? – Genesis 8:6"I'm not sure what the question is unless it's another about an all-beneficent
God providing heaven on Earth or people showing effort with action and not just
words, in which case see above.

"why the test?"
I'd say God, like life, isn't all-beneficent. Various outlooks:

Too Much Johnson is a 1938 comedy film written and directed by Orson
Welles. The film was made three years before Welles directed Citizen
Kane, but it was never publicly screened. The film was believed to be
lost, but a print was re- discovered in 2013 in an Italian warehouse.
The film is scheduled to be released in October 2013 and will be avail-
able online as well.
The film was not intended to stand by itself, but was designed as the
cinematic aspect of Welles's Mercury Theatre stage presentation of
William Gillette's 1894 comedy about a New York playboy who flees from
the violent husband of his mistress and borrows the identity of a
plantation owner in Cuba who is expecting the arrival of a mail order
bride.
Welles planned to mix live action and film for this production. The
film was designed to run 40 minutes, with 20 minutes devoted to the
play's prologue and two 10-minute introductions for the second and
third act. Welles planned to create a silent film in the tradition of
the Mack Sennett slapstick comedies, in order to enhance the various
chases, duels and comic conflicts of the Gillette play.
This was not the first time that Welles directed a film. In 1934,
while still attending The Todd School for Boys, he co-directed (with
friend William Vance) a short avant garde film called The Hearts of
Age.Welles never completed the editing of Too Much Johnson and put the
footage in storage. He rediscovered the footage three decades later
at his home outside of Madrid, Spain. "I can't remember whether I had
it all along and dug it out of the bottom of a trunk, or whether some-
one brought it to me, but there it was", he later recalled. "I
screened it, and it was in perfect condition, with not a scratch on
it, as though it had only been through a projector once or twice be-
fore. It had a fine quality. Cotten was magnificent, and I immediately
made plans to edit it and send it to Joe as a birthday present."
Welles, however, never allowed the footage to be seen publicly,
stating the film would not make sense outside of the full context of
the Gillette play.
In 1971, a fire broke out at Welles's home and the only known com-
plete print of Too Much Johnson was destroyed.
A copy was discovered in Italy in 2013 and restored by George Eastman House.
