The objective of this thread will be to collect the usage and deduce the definition of "kind". I thought if we could have a place to accumulate all of the instances kind is used we might be able to, at least, set a working parameter on its usage. Maybe one day we'll make it to Webster??
If a theist finds it in his/her heart to make our search a little easier, please feel free to add some information.
If anyone wishes to dig through the threads to find different usages of kind, feel free. I, on the other hand (because of laziness), plan to add to this thread from future conversations about kind that I find applicable to this thread.
So far, as a starting point, Genus is suspected to be the true meaning of kind. We'll see how that evolves in the future.
