Having never heard of baraminology, I looked it up.

In creation biology, Baraminology is the effort to classify created kinds. The term was devised in 1990 by Kurt P. Wise, based on Marsh's 1941 coinage of the term "baramin" from the Hebrew words bara (create) and min (kind) to represent the different kinds described in the Bible. (Source Wikipedia)

In his book Fundamental Biology (self-published, 1941) Marsh described himself as a "fundamentalist scientst". He argued that modern human races are degenerate forms of first created man and warned that the living world is the scene of a cosmic struggle between the Creator and Satan. Marsh claimed that Satan is a "master geneticist" and speculated that almagamation and hybridization are his ways of destroying the original harmony and perfection among living things. Marsh viewed the black skin of Negroes as one the "abnormalities" engineered in this diabolical way. (Lustig et al, 2004, p. 92) (Also from Wikipedia)

I've got a blog on this if you want to know about it. I introduce most of the concepts in baraminology in the September archive.
