Hi tom
​
You say
​
the bible states that noah took one of each "kind" onto the ark.
​
What is a 'kind'?
​
If he only took 'one', what did that 'one' breed with?
​
This contradicts the Priestly source in Genesis 6:19 'you shall bring two to the ark...
​
It also explcitly contradicts the Yahwhist source in Genesis 7:2 'of all the clean beasts take yourself seven pairs...'
​
The rest of your argument supports evolution, even if God did start with these 'kinds', whatever a 'kind' is.
​
Also, to get all the wondereful range of canines on the planet from one original canine couple in around 4400 years, is something that no evolutionist would even dream about.
​
What mechanism do you suggest is behind this rapid generation of species, or do you also put it down to God's magic wand?
​
Brian.

Thats ok, no probs,
​
This still contradicts the Yawhist Flood narrative at Genesis 7:2
​
Any explantion?
​
Also, how any 'kinds' do you think there would be on the Ark ?
