OBJECTION 17. — ANIMALS PRESERVED

“Every species of animals which God had created was preserved in the ark.” Gifts, Vol.3, p.15. “There was a very large class of animals which perished at the flood.” Gifts, Vol.4, p.121. Then, says the objector, “Either God did not create these large animals, or here is a contradiction.” But if he had just read the very next sentence following the first quotation given above, his contradiction would have at once vanished: “The confused species which God did not create, which were the result of amalgamation, were destroyed by the flood.” Vol.3, p.15.VEGW 71.2
