Years ago there was an art gallery downtown NYC, and they had this beautiful series of three or four paintings of the Noah story. I really wanted one of them for my then-young daughter's room, but I didn't have the money--they were a few hundred bucks apiece, and I didn't have it to spend on artwork. My very favorite was one entitled, "The Call", and it was a white-bearded Noah standing on a hill next to his ark, staff raised high, and the animals coming in from all different directions. Lots of color.

But the question is, were the zebras the same 'kind' as horses? Which one really made it on the ark. If it was horses, where did the stripes come from later, and if it was the zebras, why did the horses lose them?
Or was it was it that Genesis 30:39 thing, where striped animals came from mating in front of branches. Oh, the possibilities. Good thing that humans never mate in from of branches. Naaaa.. .that never happens. Ever. Right?

The same way that human beings are all different shades now. God might have originally created black people, based on what we know. As people moved to other parts of the world, those that had particular body traits tended to survive and live longer. They are not different kinds of beings, they are all human, but they lost some genetic traits or some genetic traits were reinforced. In the same way, horses, or the ancestor of horses and zebras likely thrived in Africa where the stripes served as camo and confused predators, but the same patterns did not benfit them in other areas.

Sounds like a story my father once told me about a white woman with a white husband who gave birth to a black baby. She said it was because when she was pregnant, a black man had come up her walk and scared her.
Unless "scare" is an obscure term for something else...
But what's your confusion? I see the same thing. God said to take 7 pairs of the clean animals, 2 of the unclean. As the article points out, God simply said to preserve them...there is no mention of ONLY bringing that many and not bringing any for food.
I bet you also believe in fairies and flying spaghetti monsters, and evolution, too!
The belief that all land animals on earth could fit onto the ark is no less absurd than fairies and unicorns.
And thanks for displaying your willful ignorance about evolution yet again.
