Hi Contendah,

 

True, I did confuse Vic and Chick.  For that, I apologize to both.

 

And, yes, I realize that God did place 2 of each species considered not clean in the ark, with 7 each of the clean species.  But, since Chick's post only stated, "Genesis does not state that there were only two of every animal aboard Noah's Ark" -- that is what I addressed.  No oversight, only addressing thie issue raised.

 

In hindsight, I can see where her post may have been alluding to the fact that God brought 7 of each clean species on the ark.  But, in my initial reading, I saw it as her post denying that God had brought 2 each of different species on board.  So, I most likely misread the intent of her post.

 

But, I am happy we cleared up that issue; for some others may also have been confused by it.  Thank you.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill
