kinds, kinds, everywhere kinds...
Hi, d_yankee,
There are 8,000 "KINDS" of animals in the world.
An assertion you've made. Now we need evidence to back it up before we start teaching it in a school.
The first step is to define "kind" specifically, so that we can make a rough census of the animals on the planet to see if they fit into approximately 8,000 "kinds".
So please take this first step and define "kind". In order to define the term, it needs to include the characteristics used to designate where one "kind" ends and another begins.
Please be specific, and the definition CANNOT include examples of animals or kinds.
This thread is about what should be taught in schools along side evolution. If you cannot define "kind", then how can the concept of "kind" be reasonably taught?
Once you've defined "kind", I'll be interested in discussing your other assertions, which frankly seem like mere speculation rather than anything based in evidence.
Thanks.

Re: T o p i c !..
You can take the definition of kinds to another thread.
Did you read my post? The point is that we can't teach undefinable terms as science (hence the challenge to actually define "kind").
In any case, it is more directly on topic, in my opinion, then the discussion of what percentage of scientists are atheists, or whether the Bible states the Earth is flat or not...
