[[A “Kind” could be many different things. The Bible says that God’s thoughts are not our thoughts. So how do we know he wasn’t referring to genetic lineages or something less obvious?]]

Simple- because genetics show that kinds are kinds- it’s ONLY WHEN macroevolutionists go BEYOND the genetics in declaring everythign is related, without a shred of evidence, that kinds break down. We know from genetic tests and breeding experiements that kinds are kinds, but apparently, in macroevolutionsits viewpoints, species must have ‘stopped macroevolving’ ‘sometime in the past’. Fruit flies remain fruitflies, ducks remain ducks etc. they reamin the same kind- that is the actual evidence- claiming every species is evolved from one another is nothign more than a religious belief that has no actual evidence to back it up

Are you trying to say that organisms with very different phenotypes also have very different genomes? I don’t think so. There are so many genetic similarities among dissimilar organisms that they had to move away from the old system of classification. There is no way to prove evolution but it is logical and (nearly) complete enough to serve as a suitable explaination if and when a better explaination arrives. The Bible does not say HOW God did all those things, it just says that he did it.

A creationist seems to have only two choices as of today:

1. God used genes as the template for all life and we are able to study it.

2. All life was created fully formed and we have no idea how. Time to start experimenting.
