[spee-sheez, -seez] Show IPA noun, plural spe·cies, adjective
noun 1. a class of individuals having some common characteristics or qualities; distinct sort or kind.
2. Biology . the major subdivision of a genus or subgenus, regarded as the basic category of biological classification, composed of related individuals that resemble one another, are able to breed among themselves, but are not able to breed with members of another species.
However, species definition is considered difficult in the scientific world.
I said what kinds "could" be.
Species should be hard to define if evolution is true since species are always changing, and speciation happens over several generations. For living species, we define speciation by gene flow in sexual organisms. Of course, there are a whole host of species in the act of speciation with different levels of gene flow between the populations.
However, you are talking about kinds which are groups that did not evolve from a common ancestor, so kinds should not present the problems that speciation does.
No, I said that they could be Kingdoms, or phylum or species. We don't know what God meant by the word kind. There was obviously a reason that HE pointed out the creatures were after their kind.
So why not a single kind that all life evolved from?
What you don't understand is that you are very willing to accept what you don't know as long as it is within a materialistic worldview.
Baloney. I always ask for evidence.
See, you rest on presuppositions that will allow for unknowns in your worldview as long as they are in keeping with your core beliefs. You don't need evidence for a universal common ancestor, or the actual evolutionary path that lead to one thing or another or to know if life came from non-living materials. You will not bend to the possibility of anything else.
I HAVE EVIDENCE FOR UNIVERSAL COMMON DESCENT. That's the whole point.
None of my beliefs require a single line of descent. I would be just fine with several origins of life. I just follow the evidence, and if the evidence indicated multiple origins of life that is what I would accept.
You keep projecting your own close-mindedness onto me. That is a big mistake.
