To "Hitchy"--Creation discussion... (Side comments to the "Great Debate" topic)

oh, i had one. i didn't get to far into it because i do not enjoy reading creationist rhetoric without being able to reply.but here's one i found on the frist page:but i want to call servant on this one: book, chapter, and verse for that definition?

i'm reasonably certain that "kind" is a generic word meaning "division" or "type" just like it is in, you know, ENGLISH.i looked up the hebrew word, miyn, in a concordance, and it gave me this really incoherent bit about the difference between "kinds" and "species" like so: Bible Search and Study Tools - Blue Letter Bibleblb is great sometimes. lets you know what the word means, quite literally. however, sometimes, on important words, they write a huge paragraph with absolutely no justification whatsoever for anything it says.if they had said "we think this is refering to genus, or family, but not species" it might have sounded a little more educated. but that shows clear and completely unreasonable bias towards creationism, and says NOTHING about what the bible actually says.ironically, the list of uses of the word miyn below it are better. most of them appear to be refering to specific animals.

there seems to be another thread already on this. i think i'll go move there.
