Noah's Flood is illogical from a theological and moral perspective. If God is so powerful as to create the Universe, surely He could have found a way to punish the bad people without having to kill innocent fetuses in pregnant women, without drowning innocent newborns and toddlers, without wiping out millions of innocent animals that had no stake in the argument, apparently in a fit of pique.

There are many who claim to have supernatural powers--psychics, palm readers, shamans, ... etc. I choose to think there is a natural, observable world that works according to well-established principles and understandings, and I reject the notion you seem to have of a Deity as "cosmic meddler" who constantly changes things on the basis of whim or pique."

You've committed the same error twice. You're forcing your limitations into a area that has no limitations. You make assumptions about God's will and His actions, and base your conclusion off your own assumptions. You even go so far as to claim that God's actions were the result of whim, and not planned. You have no basis for that other than opinion. And you question other's faith?

Have you read the Bible to understand why God flooded the earth?

Reply: Actually I have. Can you explain to me why God used his power to kill innocent fetuses, babies, and chilren?

If he had the power you claim, why wasn't He more selective?
