Well, I know this has been tried before, but I am not quite sure that it has occured that recently, at least, not from this particular angle.
Most YECs accept speciation these days (including AIG, one of the premier YEC sites), and most accept that evolution can occur up to a point ("micro evolution"). That point is usually the created "kind" level.
So, for YECs who accept this, all I want is two things:
1. A clear valid scientific definition of what a "kind" is (bearing in mind that "if it looks like a "---", it must be a "---" does not count); and
2. A falsifiable theory as to why "micro" evolution is possible up to and including any species at the "kind" level, but cannot continue beyond this point.
In other words, why is it thus far, but no further?
(For those who do not consider the above valid, please comment if you wish, but I would apreciate it if you would not attempt to derail the thread by going off on tangents. Thanks.
