1.     Sins of Adam & his generation & God’s grief over the sinful world

Even though Adam had eaten the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, people of Adam’s generation did not realize that they broke the commandment from God and still thought themselves to be the chosen people. God felt even regret over creating the mankind on the earth.

<Ref. verses: Ge6:5~7>
