[[It doesn’t predict discontinuity among taxa, it merely observes that it exists.]]
What a crock- The Phylogenetic system doesn’t even predict discontinuity because obviously that would be a problem for it- Baraminology predicted discontinuity, found discontinuity and thusly predicted correctly- Are you by chance attempting a biased downplaying of prediction and contemptuously insulting it by suggesting the predictions aren’t important? Because if you are, if you’re looking down your nose at it, then you must also look down your nose at the predictions of evo science who, in your own words ‘simply observe’ the predictions they made when they find what they are looking for. Cripes-
[[The main goal of Baraminology seems to be to preserve the 24 day of Genesis in the creation of life as opposed to the modern understanding of geology and biology.]]
That’s another crock- The classes BETTER fit a scientific discontinuity model than they do a common ancestry model, and many instances of evidneces are observed and study to show this- You may dissagree, and htink that the lack of evidence supporting common ancestry isn’t a problem for your particular beleif, but snidely downplaying a ligit alternative to your beleif in no way dimishes hte ligitimacy of the Baraminoly system. I hate ot break it to you- but the Phylogenetic classification system isn’t hte infallible end all be all system you seem to think it is- so please, spare us the silly little high horse insults. Attacking hte character of somethign you dissagree with without showing scientific eviudence WHY it it might be wrong is nothing but a petty, uninformed attempt to silence something out of ignorance. If you’ve got scientific evidence Baraminolgy isn’t a scientific method, then please, do post it, otherwise, your unscientific opinions are really nothing but pettiness lacking in substance.
Baraminology predicted discontinuity, found discontinuity and thusly predicted correctly...
Observation is not prediction. Baraminologists still can't agree on a definition of a baramin and are looking to Hebrew scholarship of the Old Testament to help solve their problem.

Again baraminologists haven't yet defined what a "class" is. I'll simply quote the article,
Nevertheless, we do find Biblical support both for discontinuity between high-ranking taxonomic groups (here we suggest supraordinal taxa) and for continuity among species...The description of their creation on different days also supports discontinuity among these major groups of organisms.
