We HAVE actually evolved in consciousness, over time, though our behavior doesn't significantly reflect this I fear.

In my opinion you had the best argument presented using the guidelines

Something like this happened to Abraham. God told him he was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham pointed out that it would be wrong to destroy the cities if it involved destroying inhabitants who were righteousness. God said he would spare the city if there were ten righteous people in it. You can read about the whole incident here:

Genesis 19 tells the outcome. There weren't ten righteous people in Sodom; only Lot and his wife and two daughters. They were warned to leave the city and after they had gone out God's judgment was carried out.

Thank you for sharing and bringing that to rememberance. I think that is a good point. If He doesnt move them then He will defintely have a good place for them to be in the end

Thank you again.

God says He is going to destroy the world but, is willing to hear from the defense and may possibly change his mind.
"Ashes to ashes and dust to dust", we are finite and end is an accepted part of this existence. I ask for a mercy not for a reason, but love. I ask for a grace not for righteousness, but generosity. We each in our own time, in our own way are coming to your way, time and space your beautiful creation allows for a different pace and allows us to try roles outside and beyond our daily reality. I know not what new beginning this said end would bring and I trust your will Oh God, but I ask humbly you save my beloved just a little bit longer, that she might have time to come back to you.

I'm the Defense, eh? He wants to hear from me. OK..

1st I'd talk about the innocents - the puppies and other animals and how entertaining they are...Why destroy them?
"Oh, because of Man, is it?"
Well, I'd say: Since You wanted to experience all that You could be through us...
the good, the bad, the ugly...seems we are providing You with a lot of information through all our weaknesses and strengths.
You hid Yourself inside us...dropped some breadcrumbs for us to find You...
and many have...so why stop now?
Continue with the Observation...sit in the Theater You made and see what unfolds, since You have all of Eternity, right?
It is not logical...and You are not a Being without logic and a huge heart.

''What's that You say? You had higher expectations? ''
Well, that is a mistake You made then...lower them, find enjoyment in the process of discovery!

(That would be my start.)
