If you think that God is NOT guilty of genocide, then we have to re-evaluate what we MEAN by the term.
Yes, that would certainly be necessary ... if there is a God.Logically, IF (this is a supposition not an assersion of truth) there is an Almighty God, then everything belongs to him (ie everything that exists from a black hole in the outer reaches of the furthest galexy to "your house" built with his material by people He keeps alive by daily keeing their hearts beating and providing them with (his) oxygen to breath). It's all His. All définitions of genocide are based on the premise that no human has the right to wipe out another nation and that in doing or attempting to do so constitutes a crime*. (Putting aside that an evolutionist might argue that it is indeed the wiping out of the "weak" that ensure the survival of the fittest and thus genocide would provide the force to better humanity). There is no reference or allusion in the definition of genocide to life, rather than being an evenly distributed right, innate to all human beings, being a conditional loan revokable at any time by the Creator. In other words, if there is a Creator, then the definition of genocide needs to be adjusted accordingly. Can one steal a painting that one owns, the rights of which were never given away? Is an artist that is unhappy with his creation that chooses to destroy it guilty of vandalism? Has God wiped out entire nations? Yes. Did he commit a crime (the crime of genocide)? Did Picasso when he scraped all the paint off of one of his own Canveses? CAN GOD COMMIT "GENOCIDE"? If the Creator is by definition the universal law maker He defines in absolute terms what is or is not a "crime"; therefore the only way a Creator could commit a crime (including "genocide") is to break his own laws. If then he never said *I* cannot kill anyone I choose, then he can neither murder nor by definition commit genocide. Further if humans were never given the right to define genocide, then automatically any human definition would be null and void anyway. CONCLUSION Purely based on logic, if there is a supreme life giver and sustainer that never renounced his ownership rights to all life, then the definition of "genocide" as a political term restricted to humans, without a clause that mentions the exception of said Almighty Creator, is incomplete ergo inaccurate.
*In 1946, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution that “affirmed” that genocide was a crime under international law, but did not provide a legal definition of the crime. endgenocide.org/learn/what-is-genocide**Unger's Bible Dictionary, page 912, observes: "Canaanite religion with its orgiastic nature worship, the cult of fertility in the form of serpent symbols, sensuous nudity and gross mythology are revealed in their stark reality in these texts [discovered at Ras Shamra]. No longer can critics accuse the God of Israel of injustice in ordering the extermination of these debilitating cults."
