Question
Question-1

   Why was Noah saved,while rest of the population were

destroyed from the flood or Deluge ?

Question-2

   What was the purpose for the "Tree of Life" and Tree of
   knowledge" to be in the Garden of Eden....?

Answer
The people of the Flood were destroyed because their violence defiled the earth (Gen 6:11-13). Noah and family were saved because Noah found favor with God (6:8).
The purpose of the Tree of Life was to make it possible for Adam and his wife to live forever (Gen 3:22). The purpose of the Tree of Knowledge is not stated, but it seems to have been a test of obedience.

Comment	the answer to both questions were wrong, basically the "tree of Knoweldge" so that Adam and Eve could continue on with DNA seed and humans evolved much smarter then rest of the animals in the kingdom, and Tree of Life was so man could live immorality. If Adam and Eve would of ate the tree of life, then both would of lived immorality and would not continue on their DNA seed. Noah was saved because, he was different from the rest of people, you see he was fathered by "Enki" was a Anunnaki, he told Noah that a Flood was going happen and to build a Boat for himself and family and friends. He also told him to bring online 2 of each kind of animals.
