For years I was told that the people mocked Noah for claiming there would be a flood. I was challenged about this a few years ago and realized those who challenged me were right that the Bible does not say that the people mocked and laughed at Noah.
Nothing in the Bible proves they laughed at Noah. However, they probably did because they mock us today and people haven’t changed.
Since the people of Noah's day were just as ungodly as in our day it makes sense that the devil would manipulate their minds the way he manipulates the minds of people today. He works the same way in every generation.
So lets not become too concerned whether or not the people mocked Noah, lets just believe God when He said the people below the boat perished because of their intensely wicked sinfulness.
Genesis 6:11 "11 Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for [b]humanity had corrupted its way upon the earth."
I cannot imagine a wicked and perverse generation that did not laugh at the things of God, they always do.
