Debunking Creationism #1 - How Human Evolution Works

RE: Debunking Creationism #1 - How Human Evolution Works
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.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Kind means species, and animals do in fact reproduce according to their own species, the literal criteria of kind/species is being able to produce fertile offspring.

Well creationists tend to not believe in evolution.

Not true, creationists don't believe humans evolved from some primordial soup.

Kind isn't a valid scientific term let alone meaning the same thing as species

1.No Creationists don't believe in evolution 

2. No one says humans evoloved from primordial soup. Certainly not directly.

Then you should know that 'kind' and 'species' are synonymous and have the same definition.

In actual modern biology, they don't. "Kinds" are creationist make-believes and have zero credibility outside that unhinged pseudoscience. Life is not a collection of separate lifeforms in bubbles instead every lifeform is merely a modification of a previous lifeform and so on. Life is the accumulation of modifications etc. Creationist Taxonomy is nonsense.
