The idea that demi-gods had to be destroyed aside...

Yes, he did. If he gave them free will and then they acted less than perfect than they were not perfect. And he created these less-than-perfect people. Further, being an all-knowing god, he knew it was going to happen to begin when. You can't have an all-knowing, perfect god that creates bad stuff and gets ticked off, yet that's what all these answers add up to.

And why does your god always get angry? If his is omniscient and omnipotent what is with all of the anger and having to please him? Sounds more like human traits rather than traits of a perfect god that has everything going on.

The Lord was lost authority over the earth after the fall of Adam , and Adam had pass away just before Noah was born , and the earth was getting bad from the rise of satan and the fallen angels building sin and corruption into the earth and way off the plan of Lord God to clean the earth and eventually bring Jesus to the earth to take back the authority that Adam gave the devil.... The sin in the earth was built up and man became corrupt through the culture that rebelled against God since Cain was banished, and God through the flood brought renewal to the earth, But God did not have Jesus to keep it clean and after the flood the earth the sin was gone but eventually came back ..... After the second coming of Jesus Christ the earth will be renewed once again and Jesus will have to be much stronger to keep the devil out of the earth for thousand years as promised. to the Great Judgement of the Lord God...See there is no other reason why the flood had to come saving 8 people so taking out the answer as a title has no purpose....

Weren't they pretty much doing it to themsleves anyway? And if left alone: how would fare Noah and his family during all of this? Seems like they would be easy pickings or at the very least, collateral damage.

When wickedess is bent on self destruction: seems God favoured Noah and His family to spare them of that. Obviously a judgment is needed to spare them.

Was that the intent? No. The intent was that the wickedness of man's imagination and his thoughts were evil continually, and it was that that God hated, but after the Flood, He promised not to do as He had done before because He stated for the record that the condition of man was still the same.

But we do see the necessity for this global flood.

Same thing can be said for Sodom and Gomorrah. Such influences from popular cities would have an overreaching influence in the region.

This proves that God is God and He will judge every one of His creation whethor they acknowledge Him or not.
