CRR writes:
Similarly there is no universally accepted definition of kind. The definition I favour is "those animals/plants that could interbreed immediately following creation".
The Bible uses the word "kind" much the same way as we do - e.g. "What
kind of dog is that?"
quote:
Leviticus 19:19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
This suggests that different kinds
can interbreed but you shouldn't let them - e.g. a poodle
can interbreed with a spaniel but you shouldn't let it.
So the creationist attempt to use "kind" as some sort of barrier to evolution has no merit either biologically or biblically.
