Unclean animals on the ark

[AgeGap]

There is a thread about the worst videogames and a link to a video of Bible inspired games. Part of the video showed Noah gathering pigs to put on the ark.

My question is why did Noah let unclean animals on the ark and then leave animals like velociraptors and unicorns behind?

Strange question. The Noah story is a myth.

Is it possible that the Ark story predates the decision, revealed or otherwise, to put pigs on the banned food list?

Just asking questions.

Dumbass!

Because there was no point initiating a breeding program to preserve and domesticate unicorns?? Hah!

Funny that I've never heard that one before.

According to the Bible, it predates the eating of meat, so clean/unclean must have meant something else. (Perhaps it was about suitability for sacrifices; God seemed to have a thing about preferring one kind of sacrifice over another, as shown by the Cain & Abel story.) Then, when meat-eating came along, it was easy to simply attach ("piggyback"?) the rules of which meats are allowed to the already-previously-established-for-some-other-reason dichotomy of clean and unclean.

Of course, the Bible also says Noah was told to, and did, take unclean animals as well as clean ones, so I don't see what the issue is here. The Bible says he would have taken pigs either way. Their cleanness or lack of it is simply irrelevant.
