The Flood took place after The Loving Programmer decided to erase all the human programs except Noah, his wife, their three sons, and their wives.
The Flood had two purposes. It’s first was to erase the corrupted programs mentioned in Genesis 6:4. The Nephilim, whose corrupting presence caused God to get rid of them, were offspring of the “sons of God” and the “daughters of men”. Catholic Fundamentalism believes that “sons of God” describe the fallen angels. They came to earth and corrupted human programs with their evil downloads.
Fallen angels in the satanic Tribe of Gluttony corrupted the human genetic code with their own living sin to produce bloated Brontosaurs, symbolizing their endless appetites in bloated beings. Fallen angels in the unholy Tribe of Anger downloaded their corruption on human DNA, and produced Tryannosaurs, endless rage in living form.
The earth was filled with seven tribes of sins in living form. Many of the corrupted programs, on the outside, looked and acted much like human beings. Jesus tells us what happened to them, in Matt. 24:37-38: “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the son of Man be. ‘For as in the days before The Flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark.'”
The Programmer had a big surprise for them, then. Jesus assures us that another one is coming.
This is important: Scripture tells us something very subtle, and usually overlooked, in Genesis, 9:13: “I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”
What’s overlooked? The world was different after The Flood. After The Flood, there were rainbows. Before The Flood, there weren’t. Catholic Fundamentalism notices that, after The Flood, something big changed in The Creation Program. It may have been in The Atmosphere Program, or His Energy Spectrum Program was re-programmed so that light would refract, or His Water Programs suddenly had the ability to produce vapor, or combinations of the above.
The important point: Something big had to change in The Creation Program to provide for the incredible newness of the rainbow that wasn’t there, before.
That leads to Catholic Fundamentalism’s Second reason for The Flood.
The Loving Programmer didn’t want to be bothered having new floods every time corrupted human programs had to be erased. “Too much trouble.” So, He used The Flood Program to provide a structure that would let corrupted human programs erase themselves.
Since The Flood, each one of us human programs have had an automatic way to separate ourselves into believing, obedient sheep from the vain, self-centered goats for the thousands of years that were programmed to follow. Since The Flood, each of us Human Programs had free will. Every single one of them had to choose whether they would believe and obey, or not, while they were on earth.
How did His Flood set it up so brilliantly that we, thousands of years later, would be free to believe and be with Him, or not, forever?
Fossils. Layers of sedimentary rock. Seams of coal. Carbon-14. Lots and lots of things had to be provided so that self-important goats could look at them and say, “There is no God. There is no reason not to do anything we want because there is no one to punish us. The world is billions of years old, and there is no God!” Thus did The Flood automate the Separation of Sheep and Goats
A totally overlooked feature of The Flood was the effect of the moon on all that water. Catholic Fundamentalism understands that the moon’s gravitational pull formed at least one huge tidal wave on earth. As the earth rotated, the moon pulled The Big Wave around and around the globe like a giant, flexible rolling pin. We can barely imagine how big it was, but it was BIG! It weighed countless quadrillions of tons.
We can dimly imagine what that massive, rolling weight did to the crust below. It kneaded it, like a rolling pin does dough. It forced up volcanoes, and squeezed magmatic intrusions to rise from below. Seams of coal were formed from oil squirting up from the cooking hydrocarbons below. Toward the end of The Flood, as the water was slowly erased, layers of sediment that was compressed under the water into stone.
As the rolling pun kneaded the crust, whole chunks of the newly deposited sedimentary rocks were lifted as high as Himalayas. The layers of sedimentary rock high in such mountains, and the 363 layers in the Grand Canyon bear testimony. At the same time, carbon-14 and all the other “intellectual separators” were downloaded so that people, even in our time, would have free will. Everyone looks at the evidence and chooses to believe how powerful was The God in Whom they chose to believe or disbelieve.
The Flood makes sense out of history, geology, and rainbows. The Garden is self-weeding. The Flood, then and now, separates sheep from goats. And, weeds from wheat. If we believe, we must be grateful. Or, we end up burning with the weeds.
The Flood was a major update to The Creation Program. It got rid of the corrupted programs and it provided structures that let The Garden be self-weeding.
