"the term génos to mean a kind, such as a bird or fish, and eidos to mean a specific form within a kind"... There you go - kind is not species!
Kind as an imprecise term. Do all fish interbreed?
Also, if my history serves me right, Biology, the science, came a bit after Aristotle's time...
Oh and, species is also applied to asexual living entities... fungi, bacteria... how does your definition of kind, requiring that a pair breeds offspring that can themselves breed, hold up?![]()
The point is the word "kind" is clearly being use in a biological context, showing that "kind" and "species" are interchangeable.

Aristotle defining what constitutes a kind/species incorrectly has no bearing on this, as Genesis (written before Aristotle existed) DOES define what constitutes a kind/species correctly.
The word kind in a species isn't the right word. Species is the correct term kind there is no kind the word kind in reality is only really used like
there is many kinds (species of canines). Like the dire wolf was a species that did exist but is extinct. People miss use the word kind with species as kinds
don't exist. Because the word kinds in reality is a not a well defined word when you are talking about biological species.
