Christians and Christian scientist like me are being insulted that we cannot even explain and define the Biblical "Kinds".
That's partly because your "Biblical kinds" are not Biblical.
The Bible uses the word "kind" much as we do - e.g. "What
kind of dog is that?"
For example, look at Leviticus 11:
- "the kite after his kind"
- "Every raven after his kind"
- "the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind"
- "the heron after her kind"
- "the locust after his kind"
- "the bald locust after his kind"
- "the beetle after his kind"
- "the grasshopper after his kind."
- "the tortoise after his kind"
"What kind of bird is that?"
Notice that the hawk and the night hawk appear to be different kinds. Also the locust and the bald locust appear to be different kinds.
Each reproduces according to his kind or her kind. All of them had to be on the ark - no magical speedy differentiation after the Flood.
