semantics
Hi Medinoor
​
To me this argument is all about semantics in classification and there can never be any overall agreement between Creationists and Evolutionists on that issue.
​
Creationists can classify organisms however they may wish, since they make up their own rules about how the organisms were created and to what extent, if any, they may be permitted to evolve.
​
Evolutionists aren't so lucky. They can only classify organisms based on evidence of their place in the tree of life.

Re: Calling Peg... Calling Peg...
What I'd like to hear from the Creationists is precisely where they set their limits on the future divergence within kinds/clades/whatever. Presumably it is at least to such an extent that none of us will live long enough to be able to prove them wrong - or right. Whatever divergence is witnessed within a human lifetime will presumably always be within their rules.
