Lost in your reasoning is whether The Creator of life has the right to decide what crimes are worthy of forfiture of that life.

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.

Evidently not so hard as you assume:

“01 January 2009 Early Earth ‘was covered in water’ [Keyword: earth ]
Earth was once a ‘waterworld’ much like the one depicted by Hollywood, scientists believe.

A new model of the early Earth suggests that until around 2.5 billion years ago oceans covered almost the whole of the planet.

Just 2% to 3% of the Earth's surface would have been dry land, compared with 28% today.

The Earth at that time may have resembled the way it looked in Waterworld, the 1995 post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie starring Kevin Costner.

New Scientist magazine reported: “As the mantle cooled, land would have gradually appeared as the oceans became deeper and regions of high relief on the continental crust formed.”

Now where have I read this before? Maybe in the first few chapters of Genesis? and I'm not talking about Noah.

“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”

Maybe men should stop wasting billions of dollars on trying to find life on Mars and demonstrate their Darwinian derived morality and prevent famine. Or maybe spend a few dollars and good sense not to build right up to water's edge.
Much easier to blame God for human failings. Correctable failings.

” But then again, that has nothing to do with this thread.”

Has that ever been a problem in the past?
