There is no need to be humble when show off God's word. The word is: Creation!
So Lewontin is saying that lack of belief of God is not something one concludes because there's a lack of evidence for God's existence, but rather that this is an a priori assumption for science. Even though I'm not a creationist, I don't personally agree with this philosophy, but it's a very common one.
An a priori assumption of evolution through mutation perhaps as well, even if we understand it is breed mating with breed producing new breeds in reality?
What better evidence could you ask for than the works themselves? T. Rex remains T. Rex as Husky remains Husky, until one mates with another breed within that Kind and a new breed comes into existence. There were no missing transitional's - no gaps, just a pair of DNA strands re-combining to form a variant of the originals. Don't think it was a rib that was taken - when the original says it was a part of his side - but that other strand of DNA that when united (becomes one) makes a new creation. There is plenty of evidence if one just takes a correct understanding of both the words and the works.
So... what's a Kind?
So.....what's a species? Two breeds that mate and produce fertile offspring? Or are those separate species? I'm not sure you have a definition of it yet. (Or at least one you will follow consistently)
EDIT: But all these breeds belong to their respective Kind.

I get it!
They all have two eyes, four legs, a spine, a nose, a mouth at the eye end bilateral symmetry!
These must all be part of the Tetropod kind!
Now are you saying that cats, dogs, and those topsasaurases are all related?
How do anti-evolutionists explain the diversification of life on earth?
Ken Ham says that Ceratopsia is a created kind, but the statistical tools creationists use to identify created kinds say otherwise. When these tools are applied to dinosaurs in an impartial manner, they result they actually produce is that almost all dinosaurs together constitute a single created kind. That's described in this paper.
So if house cats and jaguars are "Both clearly of the Felidae Kind", can you explain where you get your clarity from? That's the question that's never answered by creationists.No, because even the Bible makes distinction between Ravens and Doves. He brought both of those Kinds onto the Ark - to reproduce their Kind after the cataclysm. Otherwise Noah could just have brought Doves. So IMO classifying all dinosaur as one Kind, would be like classifying all birds as one Kind, even if God made sure Noah brought one of Dove and Raven. Now all Finches may be of one Kind, etc, of this I would agree by the fact they can all interbreed. And some that may have lost that ability due to isolation etc., does not make them a different Kind, as long as it is obvious they came from the same Kind. Example house-cat and Jaguar. Both clearly of the Felidae Kind.
The distinction between Kinds is fairly clear. Although Dove and Raven share many similarities - they are each a distinct kind, which is why at least a pair of each was brought. Now other dove-like birds may be of the same Kind - as well as all raven type birds, etc.
EDIT" Anything else would be that a-priori assumption for either side kicking in.

Several sentences earlier you said "all Finches may be of one Kind" (emphasis added), so I'm dubious about your certainty.
You do seem certain that the Noah's ark narative is both true and literal... but you haven't presented a reason for that either.

Not necessary "my version", but a version.
Of course, my version is the best.
That is grossly simplified and nebulous. Thus, it is NOT true.
Don't know means no answer.
And we want and NEED an answer. NOW.
Here's something that most people don't understand. A theory which is presented ...
