Re: Kinds
Hi Arphy,
barminologists do try to work out these bounderies, but this doesn't ever mean that their results are conclusive. They can give us a rough idea which can be helpful, but they are also open to revision.
Doesn't this make you in the least bit sceptical? After all, these "baramins" are real biological boundaries. They are not in the least bit arbitrary (as one might argue Linnaean taxonomy to be), they are absolute, impenetrable divisions of life - yet we can't detect them.
That just sounds a bit odd to me. Why are these baramins so elusive? Surely it couldn't be that a flexible baramin is more expedient in producing apologetics? Could it?

Re: Sauce for the Goose, etc.
Hi Arphy,
I would just like to point out what I see as a note of hypocrisy in the text you quoted.
In the case of the Anolis sagrei lizards, the rate of change ranged up to 2,117 darwinswhereas evolutionists had only ‘measured’ rates of 0.1 to 1.0 darwins over the ‘millions of years in the fossil record’.
The fossil record? I thought you were a devotee of "flood geology"? It seems absurd and hypocritical to base one's argument upon information garnered from a mainstream understanding of the fossil record when you don't accept the validity that interpretation of said fossil record.

Re: Sauce for the Goose, etc.
Hi Mr Jack,
Okay, I get your point. I retract my earlier statement.
