It only says that Noah was instructed to bring two (or seven) of "each animal according to its kind." I wonder if it's not just as easy to assume that the original text read something like "take two/seven of all kinds of animals." Which would make far more sense and avoid the problem of how Noah got penguins and koalas onto the ark, though it simply kicks that particular can down the road.
why did OP try to say the world species is shaky its not
its the correct term.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
