Re: Re-Questions
1. Where did the infinitely small nothing than the universe came out of come from and why? "We don't know"
2. Where did life come from and why? "We don"t know"
1. not a question that the ToE will give you an answer too, go talk to the physics people. Leave "why" to the philosophers
2. not a question that the ToE will give you an answer too, go talk to the chemistry people. Leave "why" to the philosophers.
8. How did all the elements that created our fossil fuels get together in the places they are in?
8. not a question that the ToE will give you an answer too, go talk to the geology people.

Re: Re-Kind
humans are a kind, dogs are a kind, cats are a kind, rats are a kind, birds are a kind, fish are a kind, monkeys are a kind, baboons are a kind, apes are a kind horses are a kind, cows are a kind, hogs are a kind, snakes are a kind,
1. Humans are apes
2. Baboons are monkeys.
3. Humans = the members of the genus Homo, or to be more specific the species Homo sapiens
dogs = the members of the genus Canis
cats = the members of the genus Felis
rats = the members of the genus Rattus
birds = the members of the class Aves
Fish = a paraphyletic collection of taxa, generally any non-tetrapod chordate. Phylum Chordata.
Monkeys = the members of the Parvorder Platyrrhini and the Family Cercopithecidae.
Baboon = the members of the genus Papio
Apes = the members of the superfamily Hominoidea
horses = the members of the genus Equs
cows = the members of the genus Bos
hogs = the members of the genus Sus
snakes = the members of the suborder Serpentes
So you're saying that the definition of "kind" applies to at least 6 (and the fish "kind" really messes things up) different levels of the current biological classification system. Do you see how useless your definition of "kind" is?

Re: What do those things have to do with evolution?
This science ceases to be science when it becomes based off a theory.
So investigations into gravity stop being science when they're working off the theorey of general relativity?
