Re: Creation "science" again
Believing in microevolution but not believing in macroevolution is the functional equivalent of saying that one believes in meters but doesn't believe in kilometers.

Damn I wish I'd said that.

Re: What is a "kind"?

​
The definition I favour is "those animals/plants that could interbreed immediately following creation".
​
If that is your definition it would exclude humans as a kind. It would exclude all mammals as a kind. It would exclude all reptiles as a kind. It would exclude all dinosaurs as a kind. It would exclude all birds as a kind. It would exclude all flowers, all trees, all vegetables, all fruits, all nuts as kinds.
​
The evidence and all of the evidence shows that none of those critters existed immediately following creation.

You cite a website titled "saintpaulscience.com" as your source.
​
I don't trust any religious group or evangelical type who claims to be doing science. If they were to say the sun rises in the east I'd have to check it the next morning to see if their claims were correct. The reason is, so many of their claims have been found to be nonsense. See the Index to Creationist Claims for a refutation of a lot of their claims:

In this case it is a publishing company located in St Paul Minnesota but still just a vanity press it seems with the sole purpose of hawking the authors own books.

Verily it was written: "Everybody's got something to hide, except for me and my MONKEY!"

And an obvious proof of Intelligent Design and Control is that I happen to be listening to the White Album right now.

Re: Probabilities
And probabilities NEVER trump reality. No matter how improbable something is or was, once it happens the probabilities go out the window.
