Were it in fact God breathed then this whole life and universe is an unnecessary Divine Kubuki Theater and Hitler would have been forgiven his sins had he received Grace as a young man.

I guess for us mortal, sinful humans the thought that an all-knowing, all-loving Creator God could know everything before anything even existed yet who still went ahead and created everything anyway is a hard thing to swallow. But I don't see any other explanation, can you? Though it may appear as "Divine Kabuki Theater" to mortal, bound by time, sinful humans, I have to accept that God has his reasons for it all. I also trust, as he promised us, that one day we will "know even as we are known" and then it WILL all make sense. But nothing is a surprise to God and his will is done whether we "get it" or not.

Amen too that. Most mysteries I believe for our sakes until GOD's plan is complete His reasons are hidden from us. How far the world was actually advanced at The Flood we really don't know. Yet the technology existed for Noah to construct a craft to weather the sea of seas. Babel as well was a definite point where Divine intervention halted or rather set back mans knowledge and progress.
