Hey, look at that, a definition I can work with! Let's see how fast I can make you retract it.
Here is a scientific paper, detailing an experiment in which two groups of fruit flies were isolated from one another and given differing food sources, for several generations. When the flies were reintroduced to each other... they could not interbreed.
According to your own AiG source, we have scientific proof- repeated several times by different scientists, by the way- of one kind evolving into another kind. That's literally using the definition you just gave us. Evolution occurs.
*Drops mic*
That said, I fully expect you to come out with something typically ignorant, like "they're still fruit flies, though!" to which I'll remind you in advance that you just said the definition of "kind" is the ability to interbreed, so the problem is with your definition, not with the science. Additionally, even under the strictures of real science and not your biblically-based obfuscations, this is still considered evolution, so you would be factually wrong anyway. I know it's much easier to consider all of these taxonomic classifications in terms of what intuitively feels like they should go together, but there are multiple species of any one "kind," by that standard. This idea you keep pimping that we don't see one species evolving into another is just factually wrong.
Nice smack down.
Get prepared for a typical Rev777 tap dance followed by some world class goal post moving.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
