You guys get upset when God allows free will and doesn't stop evil, then you get upset when he does stop evil lol. A full cleansing of the land was required.

Can you explain why God needed Noah to help him out of his mess?
As the human population grew, the gods began to regret their decision. The noises made by the throngs of people disturbed the gods' sleep. The Earth god, Enlil, attempted to cull the population by sending plague, famine and drought. When his efforts failed, he sent the Deluge (flood) to destroy mankind.
The other gods pledged to keep Enlil’s plan a secret, but the clever Ea (also known as Enki) decided to warn one of his followers. Atrahasis was told to build a boat and to take on board all living things. When the flood came, Atrahasis, his family, and the species of the Earth survived. After seven days, the boat came to rest on Mount Nimush, and Atrahasis released a dove, a swallow, and a raven to search for land.
The story is an INSULT to God.

Yep. Unbelievable. Literally.
The Shatapatha Brahmana recounts how he was warned by a fish, to whom he had done a kindness, that a flood would destroy the whole of humanity. He therefore built a boat, as the fish advised. When the flood came, he tied this boat to the fish's horn and was safely steered to a resting place on a mountaintop
Hydroxylated minerals strongly insists upon the presence of water in some form or another in these layers, supercritical water is even used in engineering purposes to hasten various reactions. I doubt the presence of water just stops in the upper mantle.

Hey genius ... God didn't stop evil.
If real, the Noahs Ark flood was a complete FAILURE.
And no ... 'a full cleansing of the land' was NOT required. All God had to do was send a virus to kill humans and give immunity to Noah and his family. There would have been no need to terrorize and kill all the animals, destroy all vegetation, and completely wipe out the oceans.
The story is an INSULT to God.

Yeah because he didn't stop free will either.
Well the global totalitarian Nephilim regime ended so that's a bonus. Think of Nazis except they're fn giants and eat people.
The historical record, form the various cultures, in their own words, are the ones who said the depravity of humankind had gotten out of control. There were even fallen angels subjugating humans.
