You are an intelligent person, but you often post as someone who would rather not have knowledge. There is a way to pose a question that shows you desire knowledge, and a way to pose the question that shows you want to put someone off guard.
There sure are a lot of things that don't make any sense about this stuff.
I submit that this is an example of the latter.
Every Christian struggles with G-d's decision to destroy people as He did a few times in the Old Testament. There is an answer, but it is not short or easy.
Do you really want to know what the answer is?
Shalom.
On the contrary.
It is knowledge that I seek.
Not speculation, not faith, not testimony, not evidence of things hoped for..... but knowledge.
Faith and knowledge are by definition mutually exclusive.
If a premise is to be held on faith, it must be held in the absence of knowledge.
When knowledge is acquired to substantiate the premise, it ceases to be held on faith.
