In the Biblical story of the flood why does God destroy his humans but spared Satan, the one who tempts humans into sins? Wasn't it simple to just destroy Satan and leave the humans?

 The story of the flood in the Bible is found in the book of Genesis, specifically in chapters 6-9. According to the narrative, God decided to bring a flood to destroy all living creatures on Earth because of the widespread corruption, violence, and wickedness among humanity. However, the Bible does not explicitly mention sparing Satan during the flood.

In Christian theology, Satan is often seen as a fallen angel who rebelled against God. The decision to destroy humanity in the flood is attributed to human disobedience and wickedness, rather than Satan's actions. The narrative focuses on God's judgment on humanity, with Noah and his family being spared due to their righteousness.

The concept of Satan being spared during the flood is not part of the traditional biblical narrative. Different interpretations and beliefs may exist within various religious traditions, but the mainstream understanding is that the flood was a judgment on humanity rather than a specific punishment for Satan.
