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
