None of them, however, can reconcile evolution itself or the theory which explains it..with the story in magic book.
It's not an issue of the word "kind" - though we've gone down that road on these boards before and it's a shitshow even on it's own grounds. Animals do not, in fact, reproduce according to their own kinds, because kind is an unworkable category with respect to the reality of biological divergence. Use "kind" to refer to any factual biological category and it will take all of twenty seconds to find a living counter-factual. As a society, though, we're more than willing to negotiate the reality of this with the afflicted. All things being equal..and even between christians...we know that a person who goes out of their way, ties their scrotum into a knot, attempting to make fantasy accord with reality, is less likely to be a terrible nutter.
