 There is most certainly a difference between killing and murdering. It is
 not considered murder to kill in war, nor in some countries to kill as a
 punishment for certain crimes, nor in the right circumstances to kill in
 defence of one's own life or the life (lives) of another (others), nor for
 law enforcement officers to kill where necessary. You need to show that
 God's act in Genesis 7 or anywhere else was murder and not lawful killing,
 the law of course being Himself, as the ten commandments were not
 established until after Genesis 7 occurred.  >>

According to your definition of murder, God murdered the Amalakite babies in 
1 Sam.15:1-8.

1) Was it unlawful? YES, Deut.24:16
2) Was it premeditated? YES or God is not omniscient.
3) Did one human do it to another human? YES Saul and his armies. God ordered 
it!

By your own definition you have established that God murdered the Amalakite 
babies. What dictionary did you get your definition of murder?
