Hint: not all the earth's animals went on the ark. You have already been told this.
Instead of posting one-liner word games, why don't you step up to the plate and support whatever it is you're trying to support? I've already mentioned that - two of every kind and seven pairs of clean animals as well as flying and creeping creatures.

Why don't you actually read the Bible so you don't look foolish making claims that are not supported by the Bible?

Clue: The flood narrative is in Genesis, chapters 6–9. Get reading.

My post was two sentences, not one. Plus I added more to it (5 minute edit window).

Sounds like some do not believe all things are possible with God.
Perhaps I havae been in arror all of my days, but I have always taken the name, Almighty, as bein the contraction of All Mighty. I belie whaqt I have always understood is correct for there is nothing difficult for our Father....

I probably read and studied it more than you have. This is the kind of issue that make Christianity look foolish because a global flood just doesn't make any sense at all.
It does not have to "make sense". (1) Firstly the Bible makes it crystal clear and (2) secondly there is sufficient geological evidence to confirm this. But even if there was no geological evidence the Word of God is sufficient for Christians. How unbelievers look at this is immaterial.

12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth....
17And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die...
19And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
20Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
23And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
(Genesis 6:12,13,17; 7:19-23).

Kindly invest in The Genesis Flood by Whitcomb and Morris for a detailed discussion. It is available from Amazon.com.

As to the number of animals, had you read the Bible account, you would have seen that the number was limited to what was necessary to continue reproduction after the flood.

Since you know me this past year or so, I thought you might want to see my response to someone who is posting this inappropriate garbage that I'm sure a moderator will address when he sees my report.
Yes. I have seen your posts and I believe that you take the Bible seriously. I have not seen your response to , but if you have reported an inappropriate post, I am sure the moderators will deal with that person and probably ban him. There are trolls who show up from time to time, and I have also had to report one or two. So don't be shy when you see something like that.
