To my mind genesis is definitely speaking of clades as we define them in biology.
To my mind, someone took a few words from Genesis about animals giving birth to their own kind, a statement that we all agree is factual, and then ran with it off into silly land to interpret it to mean that animals cannot evolve. Quite frankly the entire argument is unnecessary.
Genesis is just saying that after God created the first animals, they were capable of producing more of the same without intervention. Period.
If the earth is only 6000 years old, then animals did not have time to evolve regardless of whether they had the potential to do so. So why take this particular sentence so out of context to try to demonstrate something that is not required to support your belief? It's ridiculous; no more and no less so than everything else in Creation Science.
