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.
if theists want their bible to be relevant they need a NNT a new new testament and throw out the old garbage. Add science into it and nothing with magic or god in it.
They need a post-new testament that contains just three words: "sorry about that"
