To me, Genesis 6 seems to show both criticisms wrong. Genesis 1-2 seem to suggest that God created an enjoyable, problem-free human experience. Humans seem described as introducing problems by attempting to replace God as primary relationship and sovereign authority in Genesis 3, and escalating problems in Genesis 4 by ignoring God's guidance away from even greater evil behavior. The genealogy in Genesis 5 seems reasonably interpreted as suggesting that God allowed a sufficient expanse of time for humans to voluntarily solve the problem by restoring God as primary relationship and sovereign authority, but instead, humans seemed to continue to escalate evil to the intense level described in Genesis 6:5 before God seems described as intervening thereafter in Genesis 6. Apparently, therefore, criticism of God for not intervening seems unfounded since God seems to intervene, and criticism of God for intervening seems unfounded based upon the intensity of the problem of human evil behavior at that point and the amount of opportunity apparently granted by God for humans to voluntarily correct the problem.
