The flood was judgment. It terminated the Adamic race who had become
polytheistic and maybe idol worshipers to boot. The Sumerians survived
as did all populations all over the globe who were living at 2900 BC.
The "start over" was with Noah and his progeny who were keepers of the
covenant. The "fall" necessitated Christ. As a human being Adam was
not capable of refraining from sin. I don't see evolution in any
theological context.

According to Scripture, God brought about the flood to "start over" with
humans. Is it very absurd to suppose that man was created "perfect" and,
after the Fall, humans had to go through what we presently see, which is
interpreted as evolution?
