Contradiction with Genesis 6:19
Genesis 6:19 specifies two of every sort, while Genesis 7:15 does not mention a specific number; it implies all came which might not be limited to two.
Genesis 6:19: And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
Paradox #1
The main theological question that could arise concerns the logistics and practicality of all kinds of animals coming to Noah. People might wonder how every type of animal could arrive at the ark from diverse and distant regions of the world within a short timeframe, which may seem inconsistent from a scientific or logistical perspective. This can lead to questions about the literal versus symbolic understanding of the event.
Paradox #2
One potential contradiction in Genesis 7:15 relates to the logistics of gathering and housing all animal species on Noah's Ark. Critics argue that it would have been nearly impossible to collect, care for, and fit representatives of every animal species on a single vessel, considering the immense diversity and specific habitat needs of animals. Additionally, questions arise about how animals from distant regions, such as penguins or kangaroos, could have traveled to the Ark's location.
Paradox #3
The possible contradiction lies in the idea of all animal species gathering in one place and surviving a global flood, which raises issues with biodiversity, ecological systems, and the logistics of housing and caring for such a vast number of species. This scenario also conflicts with evidence from the fossil record and biological evolution that shows a different timeline for the diversity and distribution of life on Earth.
