In any case, if you posit that things evolve "after their own kind" then kind is not synonymous with species after all. For example, earlier, you mentioned cats. Let;s call that "cat-kind". All cats evolved after their own "cat-kind".
Well, you're talking felidae,..then. "Cat-kind" is a family, not a species. Now, I bet we'd have seen that, simply, when you answered "cat-kind" to tigers and housecats..right? Or "dog kind" to wolves and beagles. Or "ape-kind" to man and orangutans.
The bible clearly defines a 'kind' as that which is able to produce fertile offspring, every "seed" must bring forth after it's "kind".
Modern biological definition of species is the same, but they consider geography (these animals don't meet in the wild and therefore don't mate and produce offspring) and physical limitations (a tiger and houscat).
Now if you can artificially inseminate a house cat / Tiger and it produces fertile offspring then according to the biblical definition, they are of the same "species".
Dogs and wolves CAN produce fertile offspring, and therefore are the same "species" biblically.

Nevertheless, you're talking about groups of animals being the same kind but not the same species, so it doesn;t look like kinds are synonymous with species at all. Hell, the cats aren't just different species in a family they're different genera.

No they won't Huggie they are not the same . Tigers are Panthera while House cats are Felis . Thus they can't breed. The only reason tigers and lions can breed is because their both Panthera.And the only reason dogs wolves and coyotes can breed is because there all Canis . Taxonomy is way more complicated then this moron is presenting .

I don't care what you call a "kind" - I'm merely noticing that it encompasses three different classifications thusfar and that;s just between cats and dogs..apparently. Species, genus, and family.
I wonder whether man is apekind or orangutans are mankind?

And you missed my point entirely
Big surprise
And once again turning to common usage .
also love how he ignored the rest of the post .

Calling a Genus , Class, Order, and Family subcategories of species is dumb . And the rest of definitions is just you imposing none biology terms into the mix allowing you to stretch the term as broad as you like .Once again simply putting up dictionary definitions has failed you .Kind is not biological classification .

Apparently the broadest definition ever . Including stuff in biology that ranked above Species.
Then of course is the question are black and grey crows the same kind .

Huggy believes the Bible to be true by definition, and any words that appear to him to imply the truth of the Bible must itself also be true. For him the work of the lord is but to make even more words appear to himself to imply the Bible to be true. When he has gone through the trouble of making more words appear to himself to imply the Bible to have been true, he is offended that such appearance is not discerned at all by others who, one would imagine, are through training and habit be better at discerning things than he. So he speak in a didactic tone and post in enlarged font as if what appears to him to be true is actually something to be inculcated as vindicating favor to those others.
