AMEN! THANKS THANKS.
Some folks are disinclined to have their biases dinged or pinged.
There is a human tendency to attribute to God’s action/fault natural disasters which God uses to further His designs. Just because a natural disaster is at the heart of the world-wide flood(s), does not mean God caused the natural disaster. And what occurred world-wide may have been focused upon as it effected the Middle East specifically, thus such flooding world-wide over a period of time would not necessarily have to be the focus of the specific cultures the Bible describes as 'wiped out'. To the writer of the Bible, the scribe not the author dictating, the focus would be 'the whole world' if the scribe had no knowledge of the rest of the globe.
One needs to choose paths carefully, where one states God uses catastrophe and other path which asserts that God causes catastrophes. Anti-religion agenda driven posters will twist our words to read 'God causes the catastrohes' when our post actually only assert that God uses these natural disasters because He knows they are coming. These same posters will accuse that God sends people to Hell, when in reality He has made a way to avoid Hell and it is the rejection of His gift that sends someone away form His presence.
