Taxonomy

[theFijian]

I was wondering if anybody can provide or point me towards information on, or a list of, the Biblical 'kinds' as per Genesis 1.

Thanks in advance.

Grace and peace

A kind isn't the same as species. A kind is an animal who's original created parents (like Adam and Eve are our original created parents) could reproduce. With the fall and mutations sometimes changes occur where animals can't reproduce anymore with each other. We see downward trends, not upwards like evolution teaches. So dogs and wolves are of the same kind. Zebras and horses would be of the same kinda and etc. Hope that helps. Also here is an article with some good information to read that will explain further.

I can offer a pretty good exposition that puts the creation account in perspective. Creationists are convinced that modern taxonomic systematics is deeply flawed. If you are interested in taxonomy from a creationist perspecive I suggest you browse some of these articles:

Genesis 1 is poetic prose and really won't provide much in the way of systemic classification schemes. Essentially the endless dividing and subdivided of closest relatives and common ancestors are convoluted schemes that tell us little about primordial natural history.
