"15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it . 16 And the LORD God commanded the man , saying , `` You may freely eat of every tree of the garden ; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat , for in the day that you eat of it you shall die. `` 18 Then the LORD God said , `` It is not good that the man should be alone ; I will make him a helper fit for him. `` 19 So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air , and brought them to the man to see what he would call them ; and whatever the man called every living creature , that was its name . 20 The man gave names to all cattle , and to the birds of the air , and to every beast of the field ; but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him . 21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man , and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh ; 22 and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man ."
"now bear in mind that all this happened in one day ( day 6 ) . How many species of animals can a man name in a day ? OK , Noah is 9 generations after Adam , and according to the story , a generation was like 200 years on average , plus at the time Noah built the ark , he was some 200 something himself ( cant remember the exact figure ) . so say its 2000 years or so after the creation day . Anyway , its possible that not a lot of speciation took place in that time , plus its arguable that there wasnt a lot of migration away from the Eden area either . so all the animals in the Earth were relatively close-by , and there couldnt have been a great number of new or variant species from the ones originally created . From the Creation to the Flood , the story makes sense . multiply the number of animals Adam named in a day by 2 , and add 25 % for speciation , and thats the number of animals that needed to be in the ark . sounds logical to me but then again , its just a story ..."
