Hi Bob, thanks for having the courage to reply, seems the other creationists don't want to have a bar of defining kind.
Question - just to satisfy the intent of this thread - is baraminology your definition of kind?
Also I'd like to comment on this

The origin of life comes immediately to mind (and I've mentioned this in several previous posts on this thread). The only naturalistic hypothesis I have seen put forth that is not intelligent design oriented is abiogenesis - the probability of which is astronomical. Laboratory experiments have consistently failed to provide even the slightest evidence for it. In a case such as this a supernatural assumption seems far more reasonable.
You seem like an educated person, so you must have heard of the
Urey-Miller experiment. Can you explain how this experiment failed to provide even the slightest evidence for abiogenesis?
Or to put it more bluntly (and I'm not trying to be nasty here), If you conclude that there is no evidence for abiogenesis, why is it that when scientists recreate an environment predicted by science that would closely support abiogenesis, that a black tea pot isn't created instead of amino acids (the very molecule that is critical for life as we know it)?
And this:

Note here the critical flaw in the "new" (past 150 years) naturalistic approach to science (which I have also pointed out in previous posts). If you rule out the supernatural prior to drawing your conclusions you will never be able to understand a process with a supernatural origin. Now, you can certainly argue that there are no such supernatural processes - and maybe you would be correct - but there is no way to be certain...and therefore you blind yourself to an entire realm of possible explanations.
Do you think advancements in astronomy would be severely retarded if we seriously considered the possibility and implications of astrology?
Do you think advancements in medicine would be severely retarded if we seriously considered the possibility and implications of ancient demon possession?
