For others reading this,
I'm also still looking to see where it said God destroyed the world and where god suppsedly said "I regret making humanity" as have been suggested.

This is actually one of the issues I have with the bible, reconciling the creation account to what really happened. Some people have speculated that "Adam" and "Eve" represented a nation of people, not just two.
Here's the problem with thinking Adam and Eve were one man and one woman.
They had two kids at first, Cain and Abel. THat means, there were literally just FOUR PEOPLE on earth at the time. However, after Cain killed Abel, God banished him out of his home land. Cain then said, "God, what if someone tries to kill me." Then, God replied, "I'll put a mark on your head and you will be safe." <--I'm paraphrasing. If there were only 3 people on earth at the time, what in the WORLD was Cain talking about?
I actually support the Adam/Eve nation theory.
However, it also would have been possible for eve to have 100s of kids. People in those days lived hundreds of years. Remeber, the oldest living person in the bible lived to be over 900 years old, Methuselah.
P.S. The account of God's flooding of the earth is in Genesis, as well as the statement, "It repented him that he made man." God felt sorry that so much wickedness had overrun the earth. So, he put an end to it.
