In another thread, it was proposed that evolution outside of "kinds" was not observed, and was predicted to be impossible within the Creationist model.
​
I asked for a definition of "kind", as it is not a scientific term, and one was not forthcoming from the claimant.
​
As it was somewhat off-topic, I thought I'd start yet another topic on this subject, this one rather narrowly focussed.
​
I would like to know the definition of "kind".
​
I would also like to know the consistent system by which I can identify what "kind" an organism is.
​
I suppose this should go in "Biological Evolution"?
