Noah's Clades
I'll make it even easier for you.
Some time back a man named Noah had three sons, Ham, Shem and Japhet. Catch us up a few years and we have you and me. I'm clearly a descendent of Ham. As preachy as you are you must be a descendent of Shem.
We are both of the Noah clade. I, as a member of the Ham clade, can never ever become a member of the Shem clade, nor you a member of the Ham clade.
Now, you and I may be spitting images of each other you poor, poor man but all the convergent morphing in the world can't move back the clock and make either of us a descendent of someone who isn't an ancestor now: discounting magic.
AbE: I just noticed that I had replied to Meldnoor instead of ICANT. I know you get it, Meldnoor.
And since I'm here:
To Coyote: I assumed you were speaking to the masses and took no offense I'm much harder to offend then that (though my need for approbation from my betters is nye on an addiction) I too was speaking for the masses. I'm sure by now you know my stance.

Re: Noah's Clades
I just want it to be know: I'm a 6.5 on the faitheist/atheist scale we had a while back. I'd be kind of embarrassed if someone thought I believed in Thor, pixies, SpongeBob or Noah's unlikely story. It all seems really funny to me.

Re: Nested clades
So the only thing left to do is give a definition of Bible "kind".
And it's still left. Give a man an example and he can eat for a day. Teach a man the definition and he can feed his family. Or something like that.
So give a definition already.
