I Peter 3:6

Ah, yes, a good passage. The all-loving God loved his creation so much he destroyed the ENTIRE thing. (Except for one guy and a few animals.) God is Love!

"Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished"

And what is more, He not only destroyed it all, but He did so in an utterly moronic way, that coincidentally just happens to match the kind of myths that any ancient civilisation could be expected to have, and after his evil psychopathic episode had passed He erased all physical evidence of His actions from the rocks (Guilt? Fear of detection by the God police?)

You may think that because God destroyed the world he does not love it. If he created it he can destroy it.

In the mind of those who do not or wish not to believe in God they think that people are inherently good. Not so or else there would not be wars, murder, rape, greed, malice etc.

The reason to state the scripture passage is when I look at the world and wonder how old it is I can use the genealogy of the Bible and the known destruction of the world be the flood, and interprete the visible information as that caused by the flood. So I have a presumption of how old the world is based on the God and the Bible.

You have a presumption that the world is old because people over the centries who thought living for God is to hard, and they just wanted to believe in a logical world with no supernatural cause. So over the years every time some one in the fields who is not a believer of God discovers something they have a presumption from the start that is old. All of the dating methods are flawed they assume variables that they do not know if they existed or change over time.
