==I thought “kind” was the same as species. Not so?
Creation scientists believe that the biblical kind is much more expansive than our modern understanding of species (actually, there is no universally agreed upon definition of species, but after you read the following, you will see what I’m talking about). All the best—GGG

In contrast to the evolutionary principle of common ancestry, creation biologists argue that all life on Earth is not related to one ultimate single-cell but that life was created in a finite number of discrete forms, which subsequently underwent speciation and massive genetic change over millions of generations.
That does not fit with the idea of two of each biblical "kind" being brought aboard the Ark, then undergoing speciation post flood. You are still left with the problem of getting two of every species on board with a year's supply of food for each animal.
The contention by creation biologists of speciation over millions of generations also seems inconsistent with a 6,000 year old Earth.
