I mean, Noah warned them, so yea-
Noah warned some people, what about the rest of the planet? I'm sure native Americans enjoyed suddenly being drowned with no warning.
Back then "the entire world" was a slang term for you neighborhood.
Ah yes, because the story clearly talks about Noah easily finding land again because only a small part of the world was flooded.
The whole story was bullshit, however floods throughout history are extremely common. Just look at the Libya flood.
Old tales from the bible were loosely based off of real life, but embellished heavily.
No shit, but the story still makes god an evil villain.
