Wel,l Noah was old just because he was old. He wasn't purposely made that way. We all age. God probably picked Noah to build the Ark because he was old and wise. Remember, old people aren't as boring as you think. Listen to their stories.
Abraham and Sarah lived in Ur of the Chaldeans before moving to Haran and eventually settling in Canaan.
There is no Biblical or scientific indication that there weren't rainbows before the flood; we should probably assume that there were. In other words, the Bible does notsay that there weren't rainbows before the flood, only that God pointed to the rainbow as a sign of his covenant from that point forward.
Noah and Abraham are not directly related by blood. Noah is traditionally seen as a distant ancestor of Abraham, both being significant figures in the Bible. Noah preceded Abraham in time and is considered the patriarch who survived the Great Flood, while Abraham is known as the patriarch of the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths.
The story of Noah is a creation story and its purpose was to help explain where we came from and why things are the way they are. In this story, God made a great flood that covered the whole earth but, after the flood subsided, made a covenant with Noah that he would never again send a flood to destroy humanity. The sign of his covenant was the rainbow.The story of Abraham, in the form we have today, was a story of the Hebrew people. Its purpose was to help explain where the people came from and why they lived in the land of Israel. The covenant had two important parts: to make Abraham the father of many nations and to make him the father of a great nation. As an Israelite legend, this meant that the great nation would be Israel. Thus the Israelites learnt that they were descended from a great leader who had come from Ur of the Chaldees to live in the Promised Land, but not yet to settle and own it to the exclusion of others. The sign of God's covenant would be the circumcision of all Abraham's male descendants.
The flood and time of Noah was several generations before Abraham and Isaac. Geneology from Adam can be seen in Luke 3.

Yes; that was the secondary purpose of the Flood. The primary purpose was to prepare the "stage" for the advent of Abraham. The wickedness of the people before the Flood was of a more stubborn sort than afterwards. Had Abraham lived before the Fllod, his teachings would not have taken root.
Abraham lived some 4000 years ago.
Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac were not born when the world wide flood came. Abraham was a descendant of Shem, one of Noah's sons. (approximately 9 generations between Shem and Abraham.)
Before the flood there were many nations and also after the flood; but mainly the Bible talks about God's ancient people, the Hebrews or the children of Israel, Abraham's descendant's.
Noah is not considered a Hebrew. All of mankind following the flood is descended from Noah. Noah was 10 generations before Abraham who was the father of Judaism.
According to the bible in Genesis 5:32, Noah's son Shem was born. This was before the flood. Abraham was born after the flood. Read Genesis 11:10, it list Shem's descendants. Abraham was one of Shem's descendants. His father was Terah.
Noah came before Abraham in the biblical timeline. Noah is a key figure in the Book of Genesis, known for building the Ark and surviving the Great Flood. Abraham, considered the patriarch of the Israelites, is introduced later in Genesis as part of the lineage that follows Noah. Thus, Noah predates Abraham by several generations.
He lived in Springfield, Illinois.
The Great Flood, as described in the Bible, is traditionally understood to have occurred before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. According to the biblical timeline, the Flood took place in the time of Noah, while the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah occurred later during the time of Abraham. Therefore, the Great Flood predates the events surrounding Sodom's destruction.
Abraham and Sarah lived in Ur of the Chaldeans before moving to Haran and eventually settling in Canaan.
