  Noah is a Babylonian “deluge myth”. Judaism didn’t even exist until 1,000 years later:

  It tells of how Enki, speaking through a reed wall,[v] warns the hero Atra-Hasis (‘extremely wise’) of Enlil’s plan to destroy mankind by flood, telling the hero to dismantle his house (perhaps to provide a construction site) and build a boat to escape

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atra-Hasis

  The worship of Yahweh alone began at the earliest with prophet Elijah in the 9th century BCE

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahwism

  This means that originally the flood was caused by one god and mankind was saved by another. That’s a better explanation than “God was angry but bipolar, so he saved one family and killed everyone else.”
