Truth hurts in fallen world but it can also heal. None of us here can change what God has already established as the truth anymore than we can change history, whether we believe in Him or not. I say this out of love, you guys are fighting a losing battle on here. My family and I are here to present the Truth of God to you to let you know that you don't have to believe man's misinformation on evolution or science for that matter. Evolution is misinformation which is why there is no evidence for it. God wants you to know the Truth, He loves you that much.

God flooded the earth twice, killing everyone but Noah and family, and some animals. He set one person on fire. With those kinds of powers, one would think he would have stepped in and stopped some of the horror events that took place in history....but he didn't. I guess he retired after Jesus came, and sat back as a spectator to the terrible events that took place and continue to happen today.
For your reading pleasure, brought to you via AI overview:
In the Bible, God is attributed with causing the deaths of an estimated 2,559,449 people based on specific numbers provided in the text, according to some interpretations of the Bible. This figure primarily comes from the Old Testament, and does not include deaths where the Bible doesn't provide a specific number, such as during the Flood or the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Here's a breakdown.
Specific Numbers: Many deaths are attributed to God's direct action or command, and these are often in the Old Testament, particularly during events like the plagues in Egypt, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and various other incidents.
Flood: The Great Flood in Genesis is a major event where God is said to have destroyed almost all of humanity and animal life (except those on the ark). While no specific number is given, some estimate it to be around 20-100 million.
Old Testament vs. New Testament: The vast majority of deaths attributed to God are in the Old Testament. There are relatively few instances in the New Testament where God is depicted as directly causing death.
Satan's Kill Count: It's worth noting that Satan is also depicted as taking lives in the Bible, but the number is significantly smaller. One estimate places Satan's kill count at around 10.
@GodSpeed63 Some agree, while others do not...but:
The following additional Scriptures complete the devastation which accompanied the first flood. (2Pet. 3:5,6) "5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:" The following passages inJob, Psalms, and Genesis completes the description of water, thick darkness (as in a swaddlingband), and more great shaking of the earth.None of these refer to Noah's flood.
1.(Job 9:5‐7)"5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. 7Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars." Note:Shaking the earth out of her place might refer to tilting the earth's axis. The sun not rising and the stars not visible completes a setting of darkness.
2.(Job 38:8‐11)"8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?9When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,11And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?”
3.(Ps. 104:6) "Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains." These versesdescribe a total flood which we also see in Gen. 1:2 below: (Gen. 1:2) "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
