Lost in your reasoning is whether The Creator of life has the right to decide what crimes are worthy of forfiture of that life.
But that's a problem isn't it? That God might actually call us to account for our actions at some point.

A global flood isn't so difficult for the Darwinists’ mind to accept as the idea that a God they don't believe exists may have caused it as a punishment for acts they don't believe exist, i.e., sin.

What did the animals who were not among the lucky pairs on the Ark do to deserve their fate?

Pretty black and white. Your God is a vengeful and jealous God. Why is he worthy of my worship? He should stop having his son appear in grilled cheese sandwiches and concentrate more on stopping tsunamis and famine.

That God might actually call us to account for our actions at some point.

Or not. If you knew me, you'd most likely think me a rather caring and giving married father of a special needs child. Heck, you may even think me "Christian." But I'm not. I live a "moral" and good life but I don't live in fear of an invisible sky god. But then again, that has nothing to do with this thread.

A global flood isn't so difficult for the Darwinists’ mind to accept as the idea that a God they don't believe exists may have caused it as a punishment for acts they don't believe exist, i.e., sin.

A global flood is difficult for GEOLOGISTS to accept because there is no credible evidence of such. These fossil trees were understood over 100 years ago as localized events. And, as you know, there are millions of those who accept Darwin's theory AND are religious. I happen to not be one of them, but I am hardly representative.

And I certainly "believe" that bad deeds (aka, "sin") exist. I see it every day. I simply choose to not engage in it for personal and societal reasons. The high divorce rate among Evangelicals is but one tiny example that those who live in fear of a vengeful god are merely posturing.

And if He is a Just God, you will be called to account for your attempts to defraud His Children and make them ignorant and stupid.

>>A global flood isn’t so difficult for the Darwinists’ mind to accept as the idea that a God they don’t believe exists may have caused it as a punishment for acts they don’t believe exist, i.e., sin. <<

*sigh* You don’t get to define who doesn’t believe in God. God created this magnificent Universe with all kinds of complex rules — you just can’t grasp them, so you just say “God Make all, He like me for saying that.” Your attempt to curry favor with Him like a network currying favor with the TOTUS-reader is transparent to us, so it is certainly to Him.

Don’t conflate your willful ignorance with other people’s relationships with God.
