Re: On kinds

In fact it is a specific and highly specicic and prediction and description of precisely what we have always experienced in reproduction.
The Biblical use of the word "kind", in Genesis and later in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, is very much like the way we use the word "kind" today. What kind of dog is that? It's a Great Dane.
Great Danes produce Great Danes, but there's nothing in the Bible that suggests that the "kind" boundary can not be crossed. A Great Dane can still be bred with other "kinds" of dogs. Different kinds of cattle can be interbred. Different kinds of horses can be interbred.
In short, the Biblical concept of "kinds" is a loose, usually visual, classification - not a precise scientific term.

People who think they have all the answers usually don't understand the questions.
