< STRONG Because the world was very evil. (Biblical)
You might think so if you looked through God’s eyes.
This is a perfect example regarding the time of Moses:
While Moses was up on the mountain speaking with God, God saw Israel doing crazy things and became so angry that He wanted to kill every one of them.
Moses tried to persuade God not to, saying that if He kills them, then the Israelites would be made fun of as God's people who went out into the desert to die. God agreed with Moses.
However, as Moses went down, he saw what God saw, became angry himself, and commanded the people: "If you're on God's side, then stand here" (Ex 32:1). The people who went on God's side took swords and killed the people who rebelled directly against God, the same God who took them out of slavery.
Think of how serious their sins were. They made themselves a golden calf, an idol, blatantly going against God's command (Ex 32:1). Not only that, but they worshipped it, sacrificed unto it, and called it their god which delivered them from Egypt (Ex 32:8).
Likewise, during the time of Noah, Gen 6:5 says "Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" (NKJV). Man continually thought on evil things. There was no good thing about them, they were evil (except Noah and his family).
