Re: Why kinds was introduced...
In one breath, a "kind" has to be broad enough to fit all of them on the ark - and to explain away any observed speciation. In the next breath, it has to be narrow enough to differentiate us from the apes.
you gotta love the twisting fundis go through to give a mostly meaningless term a meaning, yet can't even define it, unless it works positivly for them.
i mean its so generalized as to mean a large group but can also be used to seperate one group from another that is so like it..insanity i tell you!
thats why i say no one should be allowed to use kinds in an arguement since it can be twisted to fit anything, thus making it useless
