A Scientific Response to Creationist on: Kinds

[Duke Guilmon]

Yes but we don't say there are any limits in that group. That is the problem. That is why bacteria can't be the same kind as dogs. Because if bacteria is the same kind then evolution stops at the domain level, if all dogs are the same kind that means evolution stops at the family level.

That's not a problem if you allow them to redraw family level classifications as necessary.

So in other words kind is vague. Because if that is the case no matter what we can call any group kind. I can say deuterostome kind and animal kind. The problem is not changing the taxonomic system based on new evidence, it is putting an non existent restriction for one group that is smaller and less diverse then the other group that is large and higher on the taxonomic scale can all be the same kind. So how can bacteria be the same kind and dogs be the same kind at the same time, but bacteria is a higher and more diverse group? How can one domain be the same kind but Eukaryota can not? What scientific papers are there that give a restriction on how far said group can evolve? I mean evolution is really population genetics using natural selection, and mutations.
