[Thread on the the types of creationist denial]
nobody even knows what a "species" or a "kind" is so your whole post is pointless.

A species is a population that can interbreed and produce healthy fertile offspring.
Next time Supersport says nobody knows, he just means "I don't know".
Stupidsport almost gets it right this time. Creationists claim evolutiion can't cross the "kind" boundary, but since no creationist can tell us how to define kind, anything they say about it is pointless.
in all fairness, the concept of a species isn't exactly black and white.
that's not to say that "stupersport" isn't an idiot, but a lot of people assume that there are clear lines between all speicies, which simply isn't the case.
to quote a wiki article on "ring species" (i'm not sure how to post a link):
Nobody, or just you?
I vote you.
You're right about nobody knowing what a "kind" is. Guess whose fault that is?
As for knowing what a species is...there is some debate on the issue, yes, but there is a general consensus on certain portions of the definition. As compared to "kinds", which is basically just a Creationist construct to attempt to come up with a vague, magical barrier that evolution cannot cross.
As usual with supersport, any response will inevitably involve a feeling relating to a bottle of Famous Grouse, a can of orange soft drink, and a style of ballroom dance.
"Kind" is a KJV translation of either Hebrew or Aramaic (or a Greek translation of either of those), and is pre-scientific thus meaningless.
I'm just shocked he admits he doesn't know what the babble means by "kind." I thought he once wrote a whole nonsensical dissertation on the mean of "kind." But maybe that was Cairco or Trinidad and Tobago. I get these loonatics mix'd up.
Stupersport:
Species: Homo Sapiens
Kind: self lobotomised.

I really believe we have found the most dedicated troll on the internet. He just seems to say whatever fundie bullshit comes to mind that will piss everyone off.
Maybe he's practicing so he can open his own church?
Its very simple...
Scientists use the following classification
Kingdom - Phylum - Class - Order - Family - Genus - Species
Morons use the word "kind". Because they do not need to scientifically define the word they assume they can lump it in anywhere on the above scale...
A species is defined as any animal that produces regular viable offspring that are fertile... So Horses and Donkeys are species despite producing mules which are really sterile (only something like 7 ever had offspring...). In lions it works differently since male hybrids die young while females are fertile (albeit slightly reduced). The offspring are not viable in any case since the offspring cannot be crossbred...
That is a species with examples. So do I win internet cookies?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
