The only thing that stops God from sending another flood is that the first one was useless.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
While the Bible's account of the flood is one of judgment, it is also one of mercy and salvation.
Seeing that our thirst was increasing and the water was killing us, while the storm did not abate, we agreed to trust to God, Our Lord, and rather risk the perils of the sea than wait there for certain death from thirst.
As a biblical inerrantist, I believe that what the Bible teaches is true and bow to the text, including its teaching about the Flood and its universality.
Most floods are caused by man, not weather; deforestation, levee construction, erosion, and overgrazing all result in the loss of ecosystem services.
The river flows at its own sweet will, but the flood is bound in the two banks. If it were not thus bound, its freedom would be wasted.
The earth will end only when God declares it's time to be over. Man will not destroy this earth. This earth will not be destroyed by a flood.
God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.
If we can find a way to keep floodwater in reserve and to use it when it's needed, it will be a double boon.
God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.
But the God of the Bible is not only One, but the only possible One.
