you are incorrect here.
Isaiah 46:9-10
“Remember [carefully] the former things [which I did] from ages past;
For I am God, and there is no one else;
I am God, and there is no one like Me,
Declaring the end and the result from the beginning,
And from ancient times the things which have not [yet] been done,
Saying, ‘My purpose will be established,
And I will do all that pleases Me and fulfills My purpose,’
The bold part clearly states God knows everyone's future before they were even conceived in the womb.
The Flood and Noah (reset) was all part of his plan, but we humans are not to presume that we understand or comprehend the Creators plan.
Don’t you think it’s naive to put all of your faith in
this God? Truly, the Bible was written by humans isn’t it so? One can assume God has given them His powers for them to write the right words and pass along God’s message to humanity, but under what grounds? Besides blindly having faith, what else is out there?
Do you have an opinion on Spinoza’s God and pantheism? here is an Einstein interview
“Your question is the most difficult in the world. It is not a question I can answer simply with yes or no. I am not an Atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a Pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. May I not reply with a parable? The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe. We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations. I am fascinated by Spinoza's Pantheism. I admire even more his contributions to modern thought. Spinoza is the greatest of modern philosophers, because he is the first philosopher who deals with the soul and the body as one, not as two separate things.“
