58if there is a line that "micro-evolution" cannot cross and become "macro-evolution" there must be a way to define a Biblical "kind".
Please define a "kind" here so that we may know where the boundry is and test it.
You could -- but then you'll spend the rest of your life scratching your head and wondering how God orchestrated the Flood.IOW, since "kind" has no definition, whenever creationists use it, we can dismiss them for spouting nonsense.
Actually I believe that there were only about 1000 "kinds" on the ark, and that they hyper-evolved into 10 million species in the last 4000 years. Except the birds. The doves hyperevolved from the dinosaur kind while still on the ark. The archaeopteryx bones were dumped in Germany on the way back to Ararat. The marsupial "kind" was dropped off on a raft as they passed over Australia. All in all, there can be no doubt that the ark circumnavigated the globe a few times before the waters receded.

You don't need to understand it for the limits in adaptation to be exposed.
And no one thinks 'magic', when it's actually a 'miracle', than you guys, eh?Not understanding things (or desiring to) has always been a prerequisite for magical thinking.

You aint obligated to play along.
Why you brought back this dead thread just so you could re-hash your useless non-defintion of what a "kind" is, is beyond me.
F.Y.I. We don't wonder about things that clearly did not happen. We only wonder how people like you firmly believe they did happen.You could -- but then you'll spend the rest of your life scratching your head and wondering how God orchestrated the Flood.

Just on the Internet, right?F.Y.I. We don't wonder about things that clearly did not happen.
It's called 'faith' = believing something when science says otherwise.We only wonder how people like you firmly believe they did happen.
Is that your definition of 'faith'?Because believing these things gives them a feeling of superiority over those who don't -- surely you know this already.
