FBD: "-that wouldn't be a very omniscient or omnipotent Deity; one that had *regrets* about something imperfect this invisible deity created, would it now."

Just guessing, you intended that sarcastically, right?

The NIV says it very clearly (Genesis 6:6):

"The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled."

But even the KJV is clear enough to understand:

"And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."

And, indeed, isn't the geological record chock full of fossils of beasts which never made it into the modern world?

“And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”
“And, indeed, isn’t the geological record chock full of fossils of beasts which never made it into the modern world?”

So let me get this correct: An omniscient God, with full knowledge of a future failed creation, decides to create said failure anyway, only to decide to destroy it at a later date. That’s not very omniscient.
What absurdity.

I always get a kick out of creationist apologies for discrepancies in mythological stories.
