5Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Ok,.... The time before Noah is, what we refer to - as a different dispensation.
During this time demons were very active on the earth and "hook'n up" with the "chicks" so to speak. The offspring, that came out of the "hook up". were called "the nephilim".

They were not much unlike their fathers. It is also believed that they were giants. This contamination of the seed of humanity is believed to be a major reason for the flood.
The people groups that God required the Israelites to annihilate, were saturated in demonic worship, of which their entire cultures were based. Tho this period is ~ post flood ~ ,Nephilim were also mentioned to occupy the land (reference to giants), (Book of Numbers or Joshua, don't remember). Many of you may remember the movie "Rosemary's baby"..... It was based on the same principal. This blows my mind, The link below indicates that the producer, consulted Anton LaVey, founder of the Satanic church, concerning satanic rituals etc... Interestingly,........there had never been so many plagues and problems, producing a movie, prior to the Exorcist,...... A hint.....maybe? The Word says that "God speaks in a still small voice", but some things scream foul.

I won't go into some of the practices of the people, it's really quite sick, especially what they did to their young. A Hugh perversion, of protecting, what should be considered, the vulnerable and innocent. A society so saturated with evil, that God even wanted the cattle and live stock killed - In some situations. He wanted no sign.

Now, Lets take up the offering! Send your checks to: Brother Brad, yes that's right, Brother Brad at..........
The story of Noah reminds me of the Dinosaurs. Of course, the Earth has experienced a great flood. The last time the ice caps melted.

600 years ago, after the Medieval Warm Period, we went through a Little Ice Age for five-hundred years. http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/Little+Ice+Age

There have been at least four major ice ages in the Earth's past.

The earliest hypothesized ice age is believed to have occurred around 2.7 to 2.3 billion (109) years ago during the early Proterozoic Age.

The earliest well-documented ice age, and probably the most severe of the last 1 billion years, occurred from 800 to 600 million years ago (the Cryogenian period) and it has been suggested that it produced a Snowball Earth in which permanent sea ice extended to or very near the equator.

A minor ice age occurred from 460 to 430 million years ago, during the Late Ordovician Period.

There were extensive polar ice caps at intervals from 350 to 260 million years ago.

The present ice age began 40 million years ago with the growth of an ice sheet in Antarctica, but intensified during the Pleistocene (starting around 3 million years ago) with the spread of ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere. Since then, the world has seen cycles of glaciation with ice sheets advancing and retreating on 40,000 and 100,000 year time scales. The last glacial period ended about 10,000 years ago.
