The sin of Noah sheds light on the human plight. At one time or another, most people become disgusted with what is going on in the worldβ€”the intractable problems among people: hatred, prejudice, and greed that lead to cruelty and war. The problems are insoluble because hatred and prejudice are burdens of our depraved nature and our history. Because we cannot change or forget, our nature and memory doom us. In response, the idealistic ones among us ask: β€œWhat if we started over? What if we expunged history and wiped the slate clear?” The account of Noah puts the lie to that solution.

from Bruce Waltke, Old Testament Theology

A rather depressingly dim outlook there...

Jesus and his Kingdom are our hope.
