Religion and Science are 1000% Opposite

Oooh! Another one. Minimal viable population


The upshot of this is that all the pairs of animals saved on the ark would then die out due to lack of genetic diversity. Adam and Eve too. If they had existed then their off-spring would have only been able to reproduce via incestuous relationships.

When people speak of the animal pairs that went into the ark they ALWAYS assume that it was a pair of the exact same animal and not a pair of the same species.

The Bible uses the word "kind" and "sort" which have the same meaning as "species".

Who ALWAYS assumes that it was a pair of the exact same animal (whatever the hell that means) and not a pair of the same species? Seriously, who?

As for the Bible using "kind" or "sort" as having the same meaning as "species" . . . fine. The problem is that we have seen numerous examples of creationists who play fast and loose with what those words mean. Sometimes species. Sometimes genus. Sometimes even more general taxonomic categories. The only common thread seems to be whatever this or that creationist needs them to mean to salvage their argument in the moment.

So now that you are committed to the story talking about species and not some more general taxonomical categories of living things, I look forward to seeing your stow plan and stability calculations that show how that's even possible. That's a hell of a lot of biomass to cram into a relatively small vessel.

Good luck with that.
