1. God flooded the earth pretty early on in the scheme of things.  But He chose to repopulate the earth and have a do-over if you will.  Why?  

2. Wouldn’t man just be doomed to repeat the same mistakes and turn corrupted again?  And if so, why do it again?  

3. If He knew we would just go bad again, why wipe man out the first time?  Why not just let it play out.  What do the scriptures say about all this?  

4. How does all this fit into the plan of the Gospel?  It’s clearly everything that needed to happen for man’s salvation through Christ, but how does it contribute to the whole story?
