ROFL! They are in the BEAR family.

I see. So when the Bible says, "each according to its kind", the word "kind" refers to taxonomic families, rather than orders or genera?

It would not surprise me to see different types of bear mating and having offspring. It would surpise me to see a dog and a cat mating and having offspring. Would probably surpise them too!

Would it surprise you if their mongrel offspring were viable?

People have bred different kinds of dogs different kinds of cats different kinds of horses, etc., Noah was not told to bring everything on the ark, it was two of each KIND of animal. Micro-evolution can take care of the rest.

Why do genetic mutations seem to have a limit? I mean, animals are bred for specific purposes, like thoroughbreds, but there seems to be a limit as to how fast genetics can make a thoroughbred horse. All sorts of mutations seem to have limits within the species and they stop and go no further. Severe mutations usually render a creature not viable. Yet, darwinian evolution expects us to buy that not only can information be added to a species that makes it a completely different kind of animal, but that during this process of mutation the animal will remain viable, find other animals just like it to mate with, and produce viable offspring.

Contrary to your assertions. You may have similar genetics on a lot of levels, but the key genetics that make humans human are not present in apes and it isn't something that a mutation would cause them to suddenly possess. Apes dont' become human, and pies (no matter if they contain flour, sugar, butter, vanilla, etc.,) don't suddenly become cakes.
