God didn't just create the heavens, earth, creatures, and humans to step back and watch. He walked among them as stated in Genesis 3, '8Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.' God wants to be involved in their lives and have a close relationship with humans. God has intimately taken care of humans but they directly disobey God, no matter how simple the LORD's single command is.
God takes great care of Adam and Eve; for example, God provides everything for them as stated in Genesis 2, '8Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground--trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food.' God gives Adam 'dominion' over the garden and the animals within; he has everything he needs, even a wife. God gives them a simple command to not eat of 'the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,' but He told them they can eat from any other tree in the garden. What tree do they eat from? Of course, the 'tree of knowledge,' which directly disobeys the LORD's basic command. God gave Adam and Eve a paradise to dwell in and the opportunity to manage it and all the animals there in, but even with all this, they weren't content and violated God's request. They directly disobey God even after He has taken care of them so well.
God brings about a great flood to destroy the wicked people that inhabit the earth. Noah is told by God to build an ark and to put his family and animals in it before the rains come. The boat, family, and animals survive the flood, and the land dries up and is fruitful once again. God comes to Noah and his sons and blesses them in Genesis 9: '1Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 3Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.'' God told them to spread out and fill the earth. What do they end up doing? They migrate together until they find a place to build a city and a huge tower. They directly disobey God's order after he delivered them from the great flood, and their reasoning for disobeying blatantly goes against God's words when they said, in Genesis 11: 4, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth." God then mixes up all the peoples' language and then He spreads them all over the earth. ...
