Can you prove there were children on the earth when God brought the flood? No, of course not. We can only assume either way.

So you're going to read something into the Bible that isn't there. It appears though that life right up until the rain started was pretty much normal for that time:

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark [Mat 24:38]
One would think that "not having children" would be noticeable enough to have rated at least a mention.

Biblical literalism means adding to the Bible literally anything you want.

As were you when you claimed that babies and children were killed.

It appears though that life right up until the rain started was pretty much normal for that time

Isn't it interesting that the scriptures mention nothing about children being born during that time.

It IS noteworthy that having children isn't mentioned in the passage you quoted.

So it remains - it's an assumption either way.
