"Kind has a meaning in taxonomy."

Then why isn;t it used by any practicing taxonomists?

"Since the word is meaningless to you when you ever speak of science please do not use it ever."

No, now you are being even denser than normal. I said it was meaningless as a term in taxonomy. I did not in any way rule out trivial uses of the word *kind*, as in *This kind of thing is found to be common in prey-predetor relationships*, and so on. *Kind*, as a means to describe a biological population, is worthless because it has absolutely no definition other than "*Wink Wink* You know what a kind is..."

Websters, Second College Edition, New World Dictionary of the American Language ----kind----
1. [Archaic] (a) origin (b) nature (c) manner; way
2. a natural group or division (the rodent kind) sometimes used in compounds (human-kind)
3.essential character
4. sort; variety: class

So the definition of the word kind in the number 2 has been removed as a meaning which is a scientific determination of a division by you and the rest of the world must follow suit.

You can not remove a meaning of a word and call it useless in a specific application because you do not like that is is related to the Bible.
The word is legitimate to use as a scientific word it may not be the word of the day but it can define a situation as well as the word species.
Also the definition in number 4 has a scientific use a German Shepard is a sort of the dog kind.
A Japanese Silky is a variety of the chicken kind. Which is interfertil with a Rhode Island Red even though it is from across the ocean.
A Clydesdale is a class of the horse kind.
