The main reason why "species" is hard to define is because evolution happens. Species do not represent the absolute hard-and-fast categories that they were once thought to do.
"Kinds" on the other hand ARE supposed to represent "hard" categories and are premised on the idea that evolution between kinds does NOT happen. So why can't we find those hard limits ?

True Origins is hardly a reliable source - and I would not regard it as intellectually honest either. (Indeed the quoted paragraph is evidence of that).
[added in edit]
Just had a look at the attack on creationism.com. Tim Wallace the site owner - takes offence at the first sentence on the home page, calls it a lie and declares the rest of the site not worth reading. So much for intellectual honesty. But all too typical of Wallace's behaviour.

Perhaps you would like to back up your assertions about the talk origins website. I am quite prepared to defend my observations about trueorgins. Certainly talkorigins is far more intellectually honest and reliable than trueorigins and it would be hypocritical to attack talkorigins on those grounds while recommending trueorigins.
