Quester,
When you read in Gen 6 you see that the entire human race was wicked, that the imagination of their heart was evil continually. But Noah found grace in the sight of God. I read that as God choosing Noah to be the one that He would use to continue the human race through after the Flood.
God told Noah what to build, and how to build it. He also told Noah when to get in and when to get out. God did not leave any decisions to Noah.

Could Noah have refused to get in?

If you look at it that way ... then, God does the very same thing with us (and all of our unsaved co-dwellers).
He commands us to "Come, ... Believe, ... etc."
... and some of us obey, ... and some of us don't.

God did not leave any decisions to Noah.Are you saying Noah did not choose to obey God? That he was irresistably drawn to construct the ark? I don't think that will hold water, so to speak.
