Re: attempted save
I would argue creationists leave "kinds" undefined on purpose. As soon as micro evolution gets too macro for comfort for them, they widen the definition of kind to encompass macroevolution....thus a "kind" could be anything from two HIV strains that differ by a point mutation to the lumping of chimpanzees and tapirs. Since it is a pure debating tactic and not grounded in science (or reality for that matter) creationists refuse to define the term but claim that the definition should be obvious.
