Humanity sinned when they were first created, having acted directly against the Word of God. Nevertheless, He has no desire to keep punishing us for the wicked things we do. He doesn't take pleasure in it. But sin is its own punishment. God showed us He was loving and forgiving when He sent His Son to die on the cross to save us from sin and give us eternal life. Everything has a part to play; nothing is coincidence. It was designed this way for a reason. We often ask "why this and why that," but yet, couldn't possibly comprehend the complexity of it all because we don't perceive things the way God does. He is omniscient and is able to see everything as a whole, whereas we only see small parts and then ask why. Wickedness, too, serves a purpose, just like love and forgiveness. It was designed that way.

I don't believe in the Bible: There are way too many things wrong with it. For instance when Cain was banished for killing Abel. At this time there was only 3 people left alive on earth namely Adam and Eve and Cain. Then all of a sudden Cain meets a fully grown woman in the land of nod. She just magically appeared from nowhere ? She obviously wasn't the child of Adam and Eve. Can you explain this to me ? Also Noah's ark is complete nonsense. How could noah collect all the rare lifeforms from places like the Amazon, north pole, and other places that hadn't yet been discovered ? Also, all the fish would have died in the flood because both saltwater and freshwater would have merged together meaning all the earth's water would now be semi saline. Too salty for freshwater fish and vice versa. Also the semi saline water would have ruined the soil making it very difficult for anything to grow again. I could go on all day about this but I can't be bothered. Way too many mistakes in the Bible to be taken seriously.
God may have created her. Don't quote me on that, though, I'm not sure. But that would be my guess.
As for Noah, he didn't collect them. You're right...that would be difficult for any human. They all came to him on their own, to safety. They were given the instinct by God.
As for the water and fish, I'm sure God fixed it. He is God, after all.
Also, you hadn't mentioned why your faith dwindled.

It is my faith in religion of any kind that has dwindled. I believe that there has to be some kind of intelligent being ( or beings ) behind the grand design all creation. The Vatican knows who really created us and why we are here. They have a vault inside Vatican city. Inside there is something of profound significance. This " something " is under armed guard 24/7. Why do you think armed guards called the Swiss guard patrol the Vatican ? The Vatican city is actually it's own country, like the city of London and has its own laws etc. Why do you think a so-called holy place has to go to such lengths ? The knowledge inside that vault would shatter your perception of reality. In short, the Bible, and all religions have all been made up to keep the real knowledge hidden from you. A family friend who had spent many years in Italy as a Catholic priest and eventually back in his home in Ireland confessed something to my grandfather about certain things. Certain things that were contained in that vault. This world is not as it seems. We have all been decieved
