I just always feel bad for the animals in the flood. I mean, I totally agree that us humans bring God's anger on us by our actions, but what did these animals do wrong? They were just getting by. As always, I defer to God's wisdom. Maybe it speaks to our connectedness to creation - how humans and creation must share the same fate. But really it's our fault, not the animals.
Maybe I'm a little morbid, but I like seeing these scary, sad parts of the Bible. In fact, a whole lot of the Bible is very hard reading. Like Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet, it's sad but true.
I wonder how exactly we are to take the flood? I wonder if water really covered the whole globe? Was it just that a massive number of people died in a huge flood? And if people started sinning all over again, what was the point of all that carnage? Are we not quite as bad as people were before the flood? Are things a little better now?
