Ever been on a competitive sports team where the coach has the entire team run sprints, or laps, due to the misbehavior of one or two? This is because they are a team and they rise and fall as a team--not individuals.Maybe you and God disagree about what is evil and what is not. This is a being that punishes or kills innocent men, women, children, and animals.
Back in the days of ancient man, they saw their tribe in much the same way. Our view today is much more individualistic, but it those days it was a matter of course that the tribe, not individuals would be punished. In Noah's time, the story flat out begins by admitting the people were misbehaving and out of order. Not knowing about natural disasters, they saw the flood as punishment on the whole tribe because the tribe was misbehaving.
