The Flood Trial is the name commonly given to the 1997 court case Humanity v. God, which was presided over by Judge Judy. The case involved God's alleged attempt to murder humanity in a global flood. God, the noted philosopher and author of the bestselling book, Bible, turned the rain on for over forty days, drowning the great majority of life on Earth. Humanity claimed that this was done on purpose. This case is not to be confused with, Homosexuality v God, in which the copyright ownership of the Rainbow was debated.
