At length, behold! there came Our command, and the fountains of the earth gushed forth! We said: "Embark therein, of each kind two, male and female, and your family - except those against whom the word has already gone forth,- and the Believers." but only a few believed with him. }} | At length, behold! there came Our command, and the fountains of the earth gushed forth!

Another error in this story is that one male and one female of each species are sufficient to ensure the species' survival. If this were to happen with all animals, their offspring would be forced to [[w:inbreeding|inbreed]] as a result of which recessive genes would be passed to the next generations. These genes cause a variety of disorders and the species eventually dies out. | |||
