on the helplessness of gods

we read in the bible that once god had created his world, he was completely fed up with the behaviour of his human beings, and he sent the deluge. this looks like 'The spirits that I summoned up, I now can't rid myself of  (The Sorcerer's Apprentice) (Goethe) when  man is not the master of his tools anymore.
i wonder if our way of suffering is pre-defined by this helplessness of an unimaginable god who either didn't know what he created and how to control it or who just didn't care what might happen with his toy once he got fed up playing with it.
that man is not the master of his tools anymore is to be seen each day, every day, we destroy each other and the very core and base of our life.
quite certainly we are not gods if we assume that a god is omniscient, loving, caring and in harmony with the universe. but we even cannot just assume this, we don't know.
