Interesting that you guys choose to focus on the definition of 'kinds', when you cant even agree on what really constitutes a 'species'.
The difference is that Creationism declares 'kinds' to be essentially different forms of life, not descended from any common ancestor, with nothing in common but the Creator who breathed life into them. It should by definition be easy to say what 'kinds' are, if the term has any meaning whatsoever.
On the other hand, 'species' is a designation that we fully admit is not cut-and-dried. The Darwinist model says all life descends from common ancestors, so what separates one life form from the next is a very arbitrary distinction. The difference is always one of degree and not of essence. This confusion is just what we expect to see if the notion of common descent is true.
So what do we actually see in nature? Black and white distinctions or a lot of gray area?

Comment from sensitive 14-year-old girl
How does 'The Bell Curve' qualify as fringe literature? Please don't lump Sylvia Plath in with all those cranks and pseudo scientists just because she committed suicide. Okay, some of the poems in 'Ariel' were a little wierd but she's not here to defend herself.
Wait a minute, I may be thinking of Anne Sexton. Sorry, my mistake.
