Bibleman,
Read verses 8 & 9 of Gen. 7. There can't be any dispute that it reads the clean and unclean went in two by two. How then could there be an odd animal if the clean animals went in by male and female for the total of seven pairs, 2x2.
Again, the Society says that only the unclean went in two by two. This statement in the Feb. 15, 1954 Watchtower only uses verses 9 & 15. By neglecting to use verse 8 they are going against what every Bible reads. The unclean in verse 2 are said to be taken by two or just two male and female, so how can you conclude even the possibility that there were four unclean animals of each unclean kind.
