Perhaps you'd like to tell us how you think scientists should differentiate "kinds" of organisms?
The funny thing is, you anti-science types consistently take an "I know it when I see it" approach to so-called kinds. Scientists have good working definitions of speciation involving reproduction, and agreed-upon taxonomies, but there is nothing even closely resembling an agreed-upon creationist "kind" taxonomy. Sometimes people much like yourself attempt to invent one, ad hoc, on the internet, and hilarity ensues.
So, you think that humans and chimps are different "kinds," but genetically distinct and non-interbreeding flies are the same "kind." Why don't you do us a favor and define the word?
