Genesis 6:9-13
Here are some verses from Genesis, from The New American Bible: "These are the descendants of Noah. Noah, a good man and blameless in that age, for he walked with God, begot three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. In the eyes of God the earth was corrupt and full of lawlessness. When God saw how corrupt the earth had become, since all mortals led depraved lives on earth, he said to Noah: 'I have decided to put an end to all mortals on earth; the earth is full of lawlessness because of them. So I will destroy them and all life on the earth."
Note that Noah and his family were blameless, and walked with God, for the vast majority were depraved, and walked with Lucifer. Naturally, there are not only elites in terms of talent and brains, but in moral goodness too. Is this due to elite genes for a few superior humans, and inferior genes for the majority renders them inferior in brains, morality and talent?
Of course, Jordan Peterson is correct that humans are created unequal in talent and intelligence, but this range of inequality is a modest difference from top to bottom, but that hierarchy of competence does not tell the true story of potential human achievement. It is my original idea, that just dawned on me, that the people superior in brains, talent and ethical arete, are not much different genetically from the inferior peers. What set them apart is their naturally or environmentally induced or free chosen election to live apart from the group as individuals and individuators, and this godly orientation is the key to their success at performing excellently in so many different fields. They are not so much genetically superior, or choosing to individuate, as they are allowed to understand the possibilities and advantages to them, made available by individual-living, individuating, loving and following the Divine Couple and their Good Spirits, maverizers all.
Note that naturally the vast majority of humans are slower, less talented and more wicked--completely depraved at the time that Genesis was written. Are they inferior to the elite few that excel in so many ways, so pleasing to the Divinities that they walk with.
No, their wills are not free, and they know mostly not what they do. They group-live, run in packs, and serve Satan and Lera, more out of custom and ignorance, than of their own free will, though they do that some too.
Note that lawfulness is living well and in accordance with Divine Providence and divine commandments for human conformity and obedience to these laws. God made the world, and the rational principle (Logos) is God's Divine Reason written down in language as natural law to govern said universe.
The sinners so offending Yahweh in the time of Noah had embraced lawlessness, or obedience to the laws of chaos and destruction wielded by Satan and Lera. Their language of irrationality, violence and entropy and death smashed all that was good, orderly and holy.
What else Yahweh is letting us know is that if we rebel and disobey God, through our free-willed choice, if we are bold enough and vicious enough, God will not just wait until after our deaths to send us to Limbo and hell, God will punish society while we are alive, by sending disasters like the Flood down to wipe us out and humble us. This is not to suggest that every disaster, misfortune or plague is a divine punishment, but that possibility may sometimes be the case.
Let me quote these same lines from the Holy Bible (KJV): "These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. 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."
The earth was corrupted by corrupt human rulers, so most of the earth must suffer the penalty with its erring rulers. God's path or way on the earth has been utterly corrupted and stained, so it must be wiped out, cleansed, so only those with walk with God shall survive the cleansing flood.
