Geez... Only two of each kind? Boy, I hope that doesn't result in any genetic problems.
Where do people get this 2 of each animal on the ark malarkey from? It wasn’t 2 of each animal, but 7 pairs of 2 of every useful animal. Only the animals not considered useful were limited to 2. Otherwise when Noah sent the bird (I’ve forgotten the species) out to seek land that never returned that species would have gone extinct right away. I know the second bird he sent out brought back the twig that proved there was land once again. Upon reaching land Noah also sacrificed a sheep? goat? as a goodwill offering to God and that would have endangered another useful species if there were only 2 of that species, as there were no guarantees of the gender of the first offspring to be born if relying on a single pregnant animal to carry on the species.
