CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That is a broad brush to use in describing what "kind" means. Even genus is used in a somewhat arbitrary way, other than in referring to the next grouping over species. But a superspecies and a subgenus could be the next grouping over species too. I will agree that often a "kind" corresponds to a genus. But in the case of humans, do you think the other species in what genus is recognized for us are our kind? I don't recognize it this way.
If chimpanzees were considered the same genus, I really wouldn't agree they are the same kind, but I don't see they are the same genus, and question why they are in the same family. Why wouldn't they be in their own family, and gorillas separate in their Gorillid family?
And still, why would Australopithecines or even "Homo erectus" be the same kind as us?

It's kind of fascinating to see arguments made decades ago by creationists that haven' t changed one iota today. And they're still just as ineffectual today as they were then.

It is possible that Australopithecine was a human being who was suffering from a bone-altering plague.
Deuteronomy 28:59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

If we changed our arguments every time someone posted their particular brand of science, we'd all be atheists now.

That's why my faith doesn't change arguments every time someone posts their particular brand of science.
My faith can accept science to a point:
1. Bible says x, Science says x = go with x
2. Bible says x, Science says y = go with x
3. Bible says x, Science says ø = go with x
4. Bible says ø, Science says x = go with x
5. Bible says ø, Science says ø = free to speculate on your own
Notice point #2?
It keeps science from becoming a runaway train that, if we accept, would eventually lead to atheism.

Which again doesn't speak particularly well of your own faith.
Your chart speaks to a belief based on Bibliolatry more than anything else. Though this does seem a common trend among creationists.

Faith is believing something, even when science says otherwise.

More creationists are abandoning Point Two by the dozens.
And in fact, I've heard that Independent Fundamental Baptists are also.
It's almost like, "The last one out of Bibleville turn out the Light, please."

Faith is not strictly contingent on rejecting science. If that's what faith means to you, then it only further speaks to a poor representation of faith.
It's the impression you're conveying here. It comes across that your god is the Bible.
