Had God done nothing to stop the extreme evil by a flood, if it continued unabated to this day, if it didn't wipe out all humanity first, is you'd be on your rooftop yelling at the top of your voice "IF THERE IS A GOD, WHY DOESN'T HE DO ANYTHING TO STOP THIS EVIL?!!!!!"

There is plenty of good regarding the Ark park.
Well, why wouldn't an all-powerful God stop evil, rather than committing it himself?

BTW, using common sense is not the same thing as being filled with hatred and vitriol.
But God does love the world even if you don't think He does.

If one used common sense they wouldn't say the things you do about the bible.

And you never know, you might learn that what you've learned about the flood is all wrong. You can't just a book by its Ark you know.
Interesting that there are plenty of books on geology and find them to agree with a world-wide flood and they weren't even written by Christians.
Please reference them

There are billions of poor people on this planet, I have no in tension to spend days on the road and a high admission charge to support a person who I have several disagreements on science with. Perhaps you should make a trip to see the Royal Tryeel Museum and Dinosaur Provincial Park and learn about paleontology and stratigraphy.

If one used common sense, they wouldn't believe an Arc saved all the land animals. In no way does it make any sense.

I imagine all the folks around the ark Noah originally built to get him and family and animals through the historic world-wide flood was an increddible sight to those folks. They must have thought Noah was nuts. I mean, who in their right mind would take a hundred years to build such a stupendous ship in a day when it never flooded. And all those years God pleaded with those people through Noah to turn from their wickedness. Yes, God was merciful and long suffering. 100 years of patient pleading with all those evil people. Probably even the little children were cussing Noah out and flipping him off and through stuff at him and his sons as they built the ship. Yet God was tenderly compassionate and pleaded with them.

The Bible says even a wicked man will give food to his child, then promises that "your heavenly father" will provide for you. Yet, an estimated 3.1 million children under 5 die each year from hunger.

In what way does God love those 3.1 million innocent children?

Even I don't agree with Ken Ham on everything. But I can learn even from people I disagree with even if it is to learn how and why we disagree.

Sure, there are billions of poor people on this planet and what have you don't this week to help them?

He was "tenderly compassionate" right before he drowned them.

That was not a statement given to all mankind. It was a statement given to a few disciples.

That being the case, in what way does God love those 3.1 million innocent children? He is going to save every last one of them. Philippians 2:8-11 shows that glorious day. I don't see anyone complaining in that day, so why do you lodge a complaint?
