It was because the sons of God were marrying the daughters of men and even having children with them. This was a very serious thing and God would not tolerate it.
He also hated mixed breeding and inter raced children so he had them killed off in the name of racial purity, henceforth creating a 600+ year war where ignorance and bigotry ruled supreme.
Now I know this example was based on a fictional story, but ask yourself this why would a loving God hate and kill his own creations for wanting to be together? What type of hateful crap is that?
Yeah the Bible says they disobeyed God, but you have to wonder why he had a problem with it from the start. It seems the only out come of the mixture created Giants? Where’s the harm in a few giants walking the earth? Hell today they would be called NBA stars! 😄
I know this example is very simplistic, but you get my point. 😉

The Ark of the Covent that went around the desert was waayyyy to small you know...And it wasn't only 2 of each animal, though it also says that in another verse....But also...
God instructed Noah that He would send two of every unclean animal and seven of every clean animal into the Ark. (See Gen. 6:20)

The Ark of the Covent
Isn't that a big boat with the ten commandments inside?
😱 😆

Re: Noah's Ark?

So here you are, explain to me the following as in regards to the Story of Noah and his ark:1. He was over 400 years old, why does no one even come close to that age now considering all the advancement in medicines and the relative ease of life experienced now as opposed to then?
2. The longest wooden ships in modern seas are about 300 feet, and these require reinforcing with iron straps and leak so badly they must be constantly pumped. How did the ark stay afloat without being assembled with the necessary technology available and how did they pump out the thousands of gallons of water that would have collected in the ship every couple of hours?
3. Creationists say that all the world's oil / petroleum deposits were formed during the Flood. How could Noah find and use pitch to waterproof the Ark before the Flood. Also during construction how would Noah have dealt with wood rot and hull sag?
4 .The ark would have had to have been larger than a modern super-tanker. There are currently over 1.4 million known species of animals on the earth today. That’s not even counting the unknown species or the species that have died off in the last few thousand years. There are over three hundred and fifty thousand species of beetle. It would take several arks just to house two example of each of the world’s insect population
5. Additional arks would be required for food. An example is the Koala. A koala eats over two pounds of eucalyptus leaves per day and nothing else. There are over 300 species of humming birds each with their own dietary requirement. Millions of animals have millions of dietary needs that are required and it must be supplied insufficient amounts not to mention the water needs of each animal.
6. How did all species of animals get to the ark? How did animals from Australia, North America, and the Arctic Poles and across the world make it to the ark?
7. Waste disposal…just think about it.
8. Ventilation and supplying adequate lighting within the Ark by which both animals and people could see.
9. Manpower, how could his family provided near enough to take care of millions of animals along with the responsibilities of maritime navigation?
10. After the flood receded, the earth would have been destroyed. The salinity of the flood would have destroyed all the plant life. What would the animals survived on after being released from the ark and wouldn’t the predators immediately hunt the herbivores into extinction
Lastly, having only his family to repopulate the earth, is Christianity endorsing incest?
I'll take a stab at answering your questions.
1. Times change...and they also didn't have a Wendys or Mcdonalds around every corner back then.
2. By the grace of God??? How the heck are we supposed to know that?
3. I've never said that. How should I know? God instructed him on how to build... we don't have the exact blueprints. Also; for questions 3 and 2 you have to consider that back then people weren't as stupid as we think. Many ancient civilizations had quite advanced technology for their time.
4. Weren't as many animals then. Many of the animals around today have come from crossbreading. For example... look at all the different breeds of dogs there are.
5. Answer for number 4
6. The geography of the world was drastically different at that time.
7. They could throw the exrement overboard(and no I don't mean Feceman)
8. Windows
9. Fewer animals then...they didn't really navigate...they just floated around.
10. If God brought the animals to the ark two-by-two I think he could keep them from killing each other for a while.
