My point is that you know as much about the Bible as you know your current deity, that although might be real to you is conjured up from your imagination and wishful thinking. You are as close to proving your deity as you are invalidating the Biblical God.  
  
What is the wishful view of the world you are imagining that you want to judge God's actions in the OT. Look at the current world; 20th century Democide deaths, rise of the most divisive ideologies, war on culture and demographics, covid psyop and genetic "therapeutics", WEF boasting of humans being hackable animals - owning nothing etc. it is a methodical decline into dystopia where you will give up or have given up your free will.  
  
Do you have issues with the flood and what fallen angels did to the earth at that time?  
Sodom and Gomorrah, child sacrifices, Israel worshiping other Gods etc, even the wisest man of the Bible betrays God. The world was no paradise at that time.  
  
Before the flood, humanity was extremely sinful, with every inclination of their hearts being evil. This corruption threatened God’s creation and thus the necessity of divine intervention to highlight the seriousness of moral choices. Free will comes with consequences. Free will means we can choose, but it also means we must face the repercussions of our actions - the wages of Sin is death.  
Romans 6:23: "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."  
  
God’s choice to send the flood came from sorrow over humanity's actions. God grieved for their wickedness and showed regret for creating people.  
Ezekiel 33:11: "Say to them, 'As I live, declares the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die, O house of Israel?'  
  
After the flood, God established a covenant with Noah and his family, symbolized by the rainbow. This signified their understanding of God’s commitment to never again destroy the earth with a flood. The rainbow serves not only as a reminder of God’s promise but also foreshadows the ultimate redemption through Jesus.  
Isaiah 54:9-10: “This is like the days of Noah to me; as I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you and will not rebuke you. For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you.”   
  
Your mind exists in limited knowledge and wishful illusion and while you think of yourself wise you create a deity out of your imagination like civilizations have done around the world. It is human nature to want to have a relationship with God, this might be why you might be doing your best to invent one that agrees with your emotional temperament and skewed understanding of the past.
