Species/Kinds (for Peg...and others)

Hi ICANT I have been reading through most of this thread and couldn't resist just reaffirming your position on a little question I haveSo a goldfish, and a blue whale according to you are one kind but wolf and a dog isn't?How did these animals become so diverse so quick?What about invertebrates that live in the ocean like squid or shrimp, or even Jellyfish, are they also the same kind?

Thank you for the reply and thanks for the welcome I just want make sure I can accurately measure these kinds suggested because I do have a question to ask you on this subject but i need to know specifically what would constitute a kind in these cases.You are saying goldfish is a fish kind because of the name we give it but you reject the jellyfish despite its name implying the same thing, so does the Jellyfish fall into another category if so in your opinion what would that be?The blue whale as you say falls under the sea serpent kind, what other creatures in the ocean fall under that kind? Dolphins, Sharks, Giant Squid? Edited by Chippo, : No reason given.

Hi ICANT, I cannot speak directly for others but I want to see if there is a way "to break down these creatures and catalog them" because there needs to be some way we can put your idea of kinds to the test, if they cannot be put to the test then it isn't science.The Theory of Evolution says that dogs and whales for example have a common ancestor, while creation according to you suggests that they could not possibly be related because they are derived by two different kinds that are completely separate. If we take belief out of the question, how do we measure, study or even find such evidence to back up your assertion that animals of two 'kinds' cannot possibly be related?

I am assuming also that this would not include the multitude of species that would have reproduced many times over and thus pushing the size of the ark required further and further.
