What are of a kind with asexually reproducing “seeds”?

What about a ring specie?

I don't think pointing to an abnormality is the own you think it is...

of course not.  if you are capable of thinking intellectual rigor actually means something then you would have ditched your sad devotion to your religion long ago.

but as it were, asexual reproduction is not an abnormality in the real world, it only seems that way to people whose understanding of the real world hasn’t progress much beyond the level of biblical goat herders. 

In fact vast majority of life on earth as measured by species, and very likely by biomass, reproduce asexually.    so your biblical “kind” is the abnormality, not the other way around.

I guess we forgot about the whole asexual conception and birth of Jesus? The point is, mixing seed from different species cannot produce fertile offspring. Bringing up Asexual reproduction is irrelevant to that fact.
