Why don’t you make a ligitimate point for once instead of the same lame vague squacking points?
Give an example of why Baraminology isn’t scientific? Where does it fall apart Coyote? Where is the classification wrong? And please- don’t give us the ‘Waaaah, it’s got sumfin to do wiff the bible’ - What specifically, scientifically, is wrong with the classification of KINDS? Please do enlighten us all- And after you;’re done hunting down the obscure scientific problems that come with certain obscure species for which noone can agree on, I’ll point out the problems with Phylogenic method where noone can agree on certain obscure species either.
So, let’s hear it Coyote.
It is not a scientific theory because it is not predictive but it is also not a scientific scheme of classification because there is no underlying scientific theory to justify it.
"Kinds" is "created kinds." Bible literalists believe in "kinds" because the bible uses that term. There is no other reason to even consider the "kinds" approach to taxonomy.
As for the specific problems science has with "kinds" you should look back 150+ years. The early taxonomists could have used "kinds" in their taxonomies if that was a productive line of reasoning. I presume some of them tried that approach first.
Why didn't they follow that approach? Probably because it led nowhere. The biblical approach didn't work as science, so scientists invented their own approach. Its not perfect, but it works better than "kinds" or scientists wouldn't still be using it.
This is kind of like the idea of a global flood about 4350 years ago. If one didn't know what was in the bible, a researcher would never come up with such a preposterous idea from worldwide geology, hydrology, and sedimentology.
