Because the world was corrupt. Genesis 6 9 This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God. 10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. 11 Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.

God killed off humankind becuase they became so depraved, that only one person, named noah, even thought of Him. people were so bad in noah's time that God regretted creating people in general. He did it to start afresh and allow humans and animals to start with a cleaner state. it might seem screwed up to you, but God is God and He is sovereign over all we see. He understands far more than you or i or anyone who's not Him will. He's also holy, and abhors sin. that's why Christ had to die. His blood covers our sin and makes us stand before God as holy ourselves, even though we're not. the bible says that the wages of sin is death, and this is so incredibly true. but Christ pays that debt for us.

Luke 17:26-30 (New International Version) 26"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. 28"It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. 30"It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. Matthew 24:37-39 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man

there's plenty undeniable evidence in creation, plus faith does come into play. He also showed Himself through His Son. truthfully, even those who will not believe now, won't believe if He were to come down to this earth and scream, HEY I'M GOD! simply because they're so blind. they won't after He returns for His church. most people will just continually reject Him, no matter what He does.

at the time of noah, God gave all people a chance to be saved by telling noah to spread the news of the great flood but what they did is laughed at him and thinked noah is crazy and so then, the great flood came and they all shouted for help to noah but noah can't do anything more because the ark's door was shut closed by God.. u see in this story people choose not to believe unless they are at the peak of it.. and until now same practices.. which is inevitable..

it was their fault. they sinned and sinned and would not listen to god. noah on the other hand did not sin and was close to God.
-
it was their parents faults. god told them what would happen.
-
Good question. Come to think of it wasn't Noah a filthy drunkard? Seriously.
-
Well for all the people who wonder why God doesn't just fix things, that was what He was trying to do then. He didn't like it much either and decided not to do it again.
-
The bigger question is, then, why Noah and his Wife are not considered the parents of all humans...
