Creationist "Kind" - A Classification with No Definition
#81
RE: Creationist "Kind" - A Classification with No Definition
Quote:The issue of natural kinds in biology is important because such kinds serve as a basis for prediction and explanation in science. Furthermore, biological kinds are taken to be real categories in nature. For these reasons, the topic of natural kinds in biology is of special interest to the philosophy of science and metaphysics.
Sigh it's not taxonomic classification now is it? .Though it is a term used in  philosophy of science and metaphysics. It's Not  a taxonomic classification(like below) as your asserting  . Which is what's used to classify animals. I have already said as much .

When you can point to Kind as a taxonomy or classification like the ones above .Then you have a case  and butt bio seriously Dodgy

You were saying?

That goes for your butt boi Anomalocaris also.

Butt boi?   Tsk tsk.  What would Jesus do to your butt when he heard such language..   I guess you don't really believe in him to use such language, do you now...

You do realize you actually have to quote from articles in the field before you can pretend to have gotten you paws on a gotcha in that field, right?   Quoting carpenter about iron working might be cute, but doesn't say you have any clue about what the fuck you are talking about.

And you know quoting within the field just get you to the pretend stage, right?

You actually need to understand the article and be able to assess it's standing in the field before you get past the clowning around stage, right?   You need to, gasp, study the subject!   But if you did that, Where would you find time to be jesus' butt boi?

Try some humility.  No amount is enough for you but any amount would be a enormous improvement for you.
The interesting thing is he's still wrong .As kind is not a taxonomic classification. like Genus, Order, Domain . And his dictionary definition of species still sucks as it has higher taxonomic orders defined under species. That's not were taxonomy places it .

Of course huggy is going to try and save himself by pointing out that that species is considered (with a great deal of debate ) As a  natural kind in the philosophy of science(so are many categories in taxonomy)  . Too bad this only means it defines the difference between  natural classifications  and artificial classifications .  And does not mean that kind is like, Order, Genus or even Species itself in taxonomy . and sure as hell clashes with his dictionary definition that puts higher taxonomic orders under species. He may even try an essentialist argument for species. This will still fail him as it's still classifier used . So Huggy misusing words again .
