Genesis 6, evil man, good God

So much to get out of this story, but lets not miss the key element right here in chapter 6.  Man is evil, man has covered the earth, so judgment is coming, but for the one who is righteous, God makes "atonement" a way to block the judgement.  Pitch is 6:14 is also translated atonement, so a pitch to protect the wood from the water... that is an atonement to protect from the judgement.  Chew on that.
