Re: kind change
quote:
Although there is no evidence that kinds exist, what type of change would you be looking for? Speciation can occur in only a short time in some species, like mousquitos.
If by "kind change", you are looking for a very large change, this cannot occur in a period of time that is easily measured by humans monitoring the organisms to be changed. It can be documented in the fossil record though, using transitional fossils.
This is the problem. Peering through the creationist double speak the definition becomes apparent. Any evolution observed in the last 150 years with living species is considered within kind and microevolution. Anything above this is considered outside of the kind and macroevolution. The creationist definition is not couched in biology but in obfuscation.

Yet to go from a mouse to a horse is what will never be demonstrated in the fossil record or have any evidence to back it up.
Well then, I guess it's a good thing that evolution never states that horses evolved from mice.
