Most inerrantists forget that not only was Noah to take all those birds and
animals into the ark, but God also commanded, "Also take with you every
kind of food that is eaten and store it up; and it shall serve for food for
you and them. Noah did this; and he did all that God commanded hom" (Gen.
6:21-22).
