[Avodah] G-d changes his mind

[Eli Turkel]

What does the phrase (bereshit 6:6) mean?
va-yenachem hashem ki asah et ha-adam ba-aretz va-yityazev el libo.

Remebr G-d's knowing the future is not like a person's knowing the future.
So was the mabul predestined?

Also was mankind after the flood better than before?

Schroeder in a recent book "G-d according to G-d" argues that indeed
G-d can change his mind as we see that the avot and Moshe argued with G-d
and occasionally won.

He goes so far as to say that Abraham was wrong for not arguing with G-d
at the Akedah.
His sources are Alan Dershowitz and Shulamit Aloni !!
