When he made the great flood, did God kill everybody except Noah and his family?

Yes God did kill eveyone eexcept Noah and his family and the animals of course. The reason he did this is because eveyone was sining so greatly and the only one who not was Noah. God wanted to start over and give us all a second chance. Aren't you glad he did? Or you wouldn't be here now would you?

Yes. Read the story of Noah and the great flood. There are far too many disprepenceis to list here, but I assure you that it can be proven to be untrue.

The Noah story is impossible.  It would not be possible for someone to build a boat that big, or to get two of every animal on earth, or to fit them on said boat.\n\nIf people would consider the story with their brains instead of their emotions, they would realize just how ridiculously false the story is.\n\nTo put this in simple terms for the cretins... How do you figure Noah rounded up two polar bears, two penguins, two kangaroos, two horses, etc...  Was he the first (and last) man to sail to every continent in the world collecting animals?  Amazing that no one else managed this feat until thousands of years later.\n\nEdit - also, it's an old pagan fairy tale called the Epic of Gilgamesh, anyway.  The Christians just inserted it into their bible.  This stuff is so easy to understand, people...

You have a lot of questions here, so I'll do my best:  \n\nWhy did God flood the world?\n  The story goes that God was angered at the wickedness of mankind and sent the flood to wipe the slate clean.  Noah and his family were spaerd because of Noah's righteousness.\n\nWhy does he kill everybody?\n  I'm just going to assume that this is part of the flood question, and therefore see above.\n\nWhy did he destroy Soddom and goomorrah(sic)? \n  For much the same reason as the great flood.  These were two cities destroyed for their sins.  What these sins were isn't fully explained, but we can assume they were heinous.\n\nWhy does he kill people in Pakistan and New Orleans?\n  He doesn't.  Natural disasters occur and people die.  That is a tragedy, but it is not God's fault.  God doesn't cause natural disasters, they just happen.  It's a part of life.\n\nWhy does he allow Hitler to kill 6 million people and he goes to heaven because he is Cristian(sic).... And Anne Frank does not because she is Jew?\n  Ok, God gave mankind free will.  Free will is the ability to decide our own paths.  It is our choice to be good or evil, not God's.  If God interfered, it would no longer be free will.  Hitler does not go to heaven.  Merely being Christian is not enough, especially considering that Hitler committed suicide, which prevents you from going to heaven.  I don't believe that there is any doctrine that says Jews cannot go to heaven.\n\nHe is a racist and a homophobe!!! Why do people like God when he is sooooooooo nasty!\n  God isn't racist and homophobic.  Some people who interpret God are, and they spread a message of hate and intolerance.  To many people, however, God is a being of comfort and forgiveness.  Peace and tolerance.  Bear in mind that the Bible was written by men, and men are flawed.  The church is run by men.  We will never be perfect, but we try to do teh best we can.\n\n\nI hope this helps.

Yes I did know that the  story of the Flood has been told by several different sources, but it is not a myth as there is proof that the globe was flooded, shels have been found on dry land,  bits of the Ark were found on Mount Ararat! and of course as you mention the tale came out again through several sources in the world from religious sorces as well as non religious sorces

well, maybe one could say that without thought...but prehaps a better view is not that HE killed them but rather didn't save them. I't may sound like the same thing but try it this way.  If I told you to get out of the road, and you chose not to...when the car hits you, does that mean I killed you? Or perhaps its the cars fault? Or just maybe its your own fault?  \n\nNow I do seem to remember that there was this lifeboat...and all we've really been told is that Noah's family got on it with a bunch of animals. \n\nI've never seen anywhere that it tells us whether or not he offered anyone a ride, or chased anyone away either...But from what i can tell it was a big boat.  So he probably wasn't hiding out secretly building it in his garage. Just maybe people could have actually seen him building it for the last 100+ years or so...Add my guess is that his lifesyle was probably a good example that he just might have know what he was up to...just maybe...so just maybe people were to busy to care.  \n\nSo Just maybe when God decided to take a break from holding weather paterns in check...maybe a lot of people decided not to get out of the way, until it was a little too late.

The world had gotten so sinful that the waters washed away everything but the ark and everything in it

Well the bible talks about Noah too--a story plagarized from the babylonian epic of Gilgamesh.  There was never enough water for a great flood, to load all the species on earth--Noah would have had to load 5 a second for 30 years.  Not enough genetic diversity, not enough water.  Point is--the story is untrue--they are fables designed for primitive people. It is not a book of science--much of it is allegorical---soo with an allegorical thought--Adam and Eve leaving the garden of eden could well be an allegorical representation of a hominid species becoming self aware.

I cannot make sense out of your question, but if you are asking if these natural disasters were "acts of God," the answer is emphatically - NO!  He does not ever wish such things on people, nor would he do anything like these without prior warnings.  \n\nA good example to study is that of Noah.  Yes, that was a major "natural disaster," but the people had been warned again and again, and chose not to listen.  Read Chapters 6-9 of Genesis.  Also note what Jesus said at Matthew 24:37-39 - "Just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.  For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away"

Yes, we are all relatives of Noah. He had his sons and their wives with them, along with his wife. But, the first man and woman were Adam and Eve, so we are all descendants from them.

If god is everything mentioned in the question, then one can argue that all of the holocausts of peoples in the past, present, and future did not happen. As god is omnipotent, then it is capable of changing the very nature of life on Earth, maybe reverting everything back to Eden for one. If he is omnibenevolent, then again, the holocausts should not have occurred, as god would not have allowed for such an atrocity. Most of all, he must show forgiveness to the 'original sin' of Adam and Eve, by reverting Earth back into an Eden of a paradise. If it is omniscient, then he should be seeing everything that is happening here, and should have done something about it, as it is supposedly omnipotent and omnibenevolent \nIn regards to the existence of evil, well, according to the Bible, god gave it form and substance through the creation of Lucifer, the angel's exile from heaven, and allowing the realm of hell to be concieved without molestation. This means that according to logic, god created evil, therefore he is evil. By the way, the simple fact that god is supposedly omnipotent means that in less than time itself, hell would be instantly annihilated. \nGod is supposedly possesses all the attributed mentioned, yet the world remains as it was then and now. Wars, massacres, pestilence and death have occured, and currently happening at the moment. While at the same time, goodness is also prevalent amongst the peoples, counteracting the damage done of 'badness.' This means that as far as reality is concerned, god is not omnipotent, omnibenevolent, and omniscient, because everything occuring in this world are done by the hands of man, not of god. So in a certain perspective, the responsibilities of the world should be man and man alone, not to any monipotent, omnibenevolent, omniscient entity that does not exists.

Gen. 9:18,19 "Noah's sons who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japhet..These three were Noah's sons, and from these was all the earth's population spread abroad." (After God destroyed the ungodly world by means of a global flood in Noah's day, the earth's new population, including all the races known today, developed from the offspring of Noah's three son's and their wives.

God had specifically told Noah and his family to spread out and fill the earth. In rebellion, probably under the lead of Nimrod( first human dictator) The people began to cluster into cities, instead of spreading out. The tower was built to make a celebrated name for the Builders and to keep them from spreading out. Actually God did not destroy the building. His confusing the languages effectively stopped the work, and caused the builders to spread earth wide. Genesis 9:1 and  11:1-10

it has to do with faith. You believe in God and he will provide. In the bible Jesus multiplied the bread and fish and fed all the people that went to hear him. So, why not believe that God could have helped Noah, and allow him to get all the animals in the boat. Don´t you think? It is a matter of faith, he(Noah) believed that he could fit all the animals in the boat because God ask him to and he trusted God.

The Hebrew text of the Old Testament does not necessitate that **all** animals on earth were wiped out by a global flood.\n\nThe terms used in the text are consistent with a local/ regional flood and that the animals that were saved on the ark were ones that were relevant to the local ecology (that Noah and his family lived in).\n\nCordially,\nJohn\nhttp://www.GodSci.org\n[God and Science]

Read Numbers 16.  God opened the ground and swallowed Korah, his followers and their families.  He also sent fire from the sky to kill the rest of the 250.  You would think the rest of the Israelites learned their lesson...but they complained and whined the very next day and God sent a plague of death sweeping across the camps until Aaron atoned for their sins.

BEcause when noah was gathering up the animals the unicorns ignored him and kept on playing. So they were destroyed with all of the other evil doers. At least thats the story I heard.
