animals on the ark

I've only ever read two books of the Bible (neither of which was Genesis) and even I know it isn't two of each kind - it's two of each of the unclean kinds and seven of the clean kinds.Or the other way round As I understand it the Bible is none too clear on what a kind is either - since according to the story there were at least two different sorts of bird (raven and dove?) sent out by Noah the birds at least weren't just represented by a pair - or heptet - of some ancestral bird.Actually from a quick dig around in the species listing for birds in Wikipedia you might want to reconsider the comment you made in Message 125 that kind basically means genus - just for birds two or seven of every genus is a whole boatload of animals

Bat indeed.For some reason the verses you quoted have made it so I can't get the reading from the Book Of Armaments in Monty Python and the Holy Grail out of my head. I think it's 'cos the cadence fits so well.

You do realise you've just come up with an explanation that is better than most (any?) of those used by the YECs!? Now all we have to do is find out how Noah got the Ark moving so fast without destroying it. Directed Sauropod farts perhaps?

I'd pay good money to see that - from about twenty feet away!
