Steve Deal opens up Genesis 8 and 9 where we arrive at the lowest point in human history — God has hit reset on the entire world remembers Noah. The flood proves what moral progressivism refuses to accept — that human nature cannot be repaired from the outside. Not by a flood, not by politics, not by ideology. God says so Himself in verse 21, using almost identical language to Genesis 6:5. Same diagnosis before and after. The flood changed the geography of the earth. It didn't change the geography of the human heart.
