Intelligent design? Really?

so please explain how separating animals by families is not defined under sort. and how characteristic in common doesn't work since that is clearly in the definition.

But the issue is that you aren't applying your definition consistently: you say it's based on Family typing and then include spiders based on Order, and now you're apparently working via two different usages of the definition at once. From the outside, it just looks like you're cobbling together an explanation on an ad hoc basis.

The problem is that your dictionary definition of "sort" is too vague to cover all the relevant biological factors involved in an undertaking like this; the more you attempt to add to it while admitting you don't know the actual criteria being used just shows the contradictions in your method more clearly. It'd be much easier to just stop at the "I don't know," part, and then we could examine whether the Noachian story is even true.

Which it isn't.

(quick edit) and also my point was that Noah didn't take every animal he only took some of each "sort". how he sorted em , the Bible doesn't say.

So why did you keep offering methods by which animals could be sorted, instead of just sticking to your ignorance to begin with to avoid lengthy, speculative nothing-conversations?
