First off, I'm Catholic, but I don't know what I believe.
Second, I disagree that we KNOW God, if it exists, is a singular entity. I started reading parts of the Bible a little while ago, just to try to get some firsthand knowledge about it instead of hearing about the stories (some of the Bible is messed up from what I've read). And in Genesis (in The New American Bible, which is weird that they would make a specific AMERICAN edition) it says "Then God said 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.'" Now that makes me think either God is multiple entities, or we aren't made in God's own image after all, but a combination of all the creature that it made summed up in one. I guess. I'm still trying to interpret it.
Third, the story of Noah is the most confusing story in the book that I have read. God destroyed all life on earth except Noah because man was all evil. Except Noah. One guy. My question is, if humanity was so corrupted by evil that God was willing to destroy its most precious creation (or at least that's what is sounds like) WHY DIDN'T IT CREATE A DIFFERENT PROTOTYPE HUMAN THAT COULDN'T BE AS CORRUPTED BY EVIL?? I don't get it. It makes me think that if God exists and created us, we are just one of many prototype creatures it created in a grand experiment. Somewhere out in the universe is Human Mark II that is less corruptable. There are probably more out there after that.
