“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and thatevery imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” ~ Genesis 6:5 ~
“And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.” ~ Genesis 6:6 ~
“And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.” ~ Genesis 6:7 ~
“But Noahfound grace in the eyes of the LORD.” ~ Genesis 6:7 ~
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. ~ Genesis 6:11-13 ~
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. ~ Genesis 6:17-18 ~

NOAH The Film Directed by Darren Aronofsky >> The “creation” story is depicted along lines of macroevolution >> Makes the true biblical account too fantastic to be believed >> We will be contending with the misinformation of this film for many years to come >> Not faithful to the Bible account >> Depicts Noah as evil, and uncompassionate >> Strong environmentalist message
The “Creation” sequence is falsified in depicting a big bang, the emergence of life from oceans, the evolving complexity of organisms, trying to lead us to believe that the Genesis story supports evolution.
