OK this is bugging me. I found it online regarding the flood...

In Genesis 6:19-21, it is written: 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. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

Its the "every" that is bothering me. From the fossil record, it would seem that most animals were not on the ark at all. Am I missing something?

There is no list of what was on or not on the ark.

The really old fossil record comes from the flood described in Genesis 1:2, Peter in IIPeter 3 calls it the age that WAS .."Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water perished:"
