...any decent family types had apparently left the area.
This seems wrong on several accounts. First of all, plenty of decent family types live in indecent, non-family environments, no?
And pleny of indecent, non-family types still manage to have children.
The assumption that there were no children in Sodom when it was destroyed appears to be a rationalization to get the Biblical text to agree with one's 21st century sensibilities.
Do you also believe that there were no children on the earth when Noah's flood began?
