How many animals were on Noah's ark?

Senior Moments

According to Genesis 7 God said to Noah "Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth." Cancel the Unicorns Apr 13 04, 10:12 AM

Well now, there are about thirty or forty types of clean animals (to be brought in by sevens), and some half a million species of unclean ones - that's without the aquatic animals. I was never any good at math. Apr 13 04, 1:03 PM

Many sites (mainly creationist) go into great depth to show how few animals Noah would have had to take. This from the site below: The author attacks the problems of the ark in a systematic fashion. He begins by calculating how many animals were on the ark. He uses the genera as the equivalent of the created kind. Taking one pair from each genera, living and fossil, he lists 7428 mammals, 4602 birds and 3724 reptiles on the ark. This totals to 15,754 animals on the ark. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/woodmorappe-review.html Apr 13 04, 1:55 PM
