 Evan Almighty (2007)
IMDB rating: 5.70
Plot: The last time we saw Evan Baxter (Steve Carell), he was being tormented by rival Bruce Nolan onscreen, live from their Buffalo TV station. But as time passed and Evan has made up with Bruce, he’s gone onto bigger and better things. Newly elected to Washington D.C. as a congressman, Evan has left Buffalo, New York in pursuit of a greater calling. But that calling isn’t serving in the illustrious ranks of America’s politics, but being summoned by the Almighty himself (Morgan Freeman), who has handed Evan the task of building a new ark, much as Noah did before. With time passing by and his family belittled by Evan’s newfound realization, Evan will have to do the work that God has given him in what promises to be an unusual adventure for a man who just wanted to serve his country, might actually be serving humanity.

Questions about Noah's Ark?
So. I was watching Evan Almighty and…. It just dawned on me. Why 2? I know its male and female but surely its more practical to have a dozen in case some died? Also, some research gave me the result that it was 2 of a clean animal and 7 of an unclean animal. Is this true? Also, what is an unclean animal?
well an ark has only limited space.. it would be impractical to have dozens of every single animal
thats ignoring the fact that the whole story of noah’s ark is actually impractical, stupid and made up

not neccesarily 2 but a pair so a male and female so they can reproduce

What about microorganisms? They don’t even need to have sex, they just do mitosis or binary fission!

Science has been able to prove that the flood story never happened.

It’s actually the other way round. 7 clean and 2 unclean. Clean animals are those that are permitted to be eaten by Jewish or Islamic dietary law.

I always wondered how Noah was supposed to know what animals were not fertile. I mean, clearly he did not have the time to interview them.

True and a unclean animal is any animal that eats meat.
madmarv | Dec 01, 2009
it was actually 2 unclean and 7 clean animals. and the 5 out of the 7 clean animals were for sacrifice. you could just read it in the Bible. its in the first book, Genesis

If you thumb down me, then you’re only in denial

Try reading the source material for Noah’s story (the Epic of Gilgamesh).

God, not Noah, brought the animals to the ark, a rather simple matter considering all the other things he had accomplished. There were two of every unclean animal (those that the Israelites would later be forbidden to eat) and seven of the clean animals (those allowed under Mosaic Law). God was looking ahead as the family line of the Israelites had yet to be established.
Noah was probably unaware of why there were more of some animals than others, as it wasn’t until after the Flood that God told Noah they were allowed to eat the flesh of animals. "And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat." (Genesis 9:2-4)

Two of a kind, one male and one female, enough to start populating the earth again. God protected all until they could repopulate. Seven of clean animals and two of unclean animals. Seven of clean animals so that their were some for sacrifice to God. And possibly, because there would not be much in the way of food as they got off of the ark and it was at that time that God then did say that animals could be eaten for the first time. Before the flood, animals were not to be eaten, but only the vegetation of the earth was to be used as food for all creatures.

For reproduction and God is able to provide for them through the flood assuring none would die.
Joe P | Dec 01, 2009
the clean and unclean part is something to do with what animals the old testament god said you are and are not allowed to eat. but you’re absolutely correct not only would it be a bit risky taking just 2 because if one died that’s it, one mating pair is not a viable breeding population. you would need at least a few dozen maybe over 100, minimum, and a very strict breeding program to ensure maximum genetic diversity.
just another set of problems that render this entire story complete nonsense.

Actually it was 7 pairs of each clean animal, or 14, and one pair of each unclean. Many translations are not clear on this.
