Genesis 6

Interesting... Your children, Adam and Eve's children, seen as separate from "men."  Almost as a different race/species.  Because didn't have God?  Or know You, I mean?  Also interesting that my first reaction wasn't at the injustice.  Also makes me think of Many Waters by Madeleine L'Engle.  You were very specific about the ark.  If I remember correctly, this is another one where there are two versions of the story.  But no one ever talks about the other one... Also, Noah described as "a righteous man, blameless in his generation"--what about his drunkenness?  Or is this version ignoring that, or is he just "blameless" compared to everyone else in his generation who was crazy wicked?  But why have the sudden comparative "good"--You're all about 'This is good and this is bad', right?  But also not supposed to judge, so maybe it's all up to You.
