editor-surveyor: "I suspect that Metmom meant “Variation within a ‘kind.’”
That is the term used biblically."

I got that, but "kind" has no known scientific equivalent.

editor-surveyor: " 'Species' is an imaginary human construct that may have no validity whatsoever in Yehova’s realm."

Just as other biological classifications: genus, family, order, etc.
All just scientific constructs which make it a bit easier for us to understand the natural realm.

editor-surveyor: "Man lacks the authority to make the rules."

The Bible gives us authority to name things, and that's what biological classifications are, names for categories.
I'm not troubled by it.

“Scientific” is a term that defies reason when used to describe the arbitrary constructs of arbitrary ‘biology.’

No! vast stretch job!

Naming establishes nothing but a common term of reference to provide linguistic stability.

It means absolutely nothing more. Its basis is pure assumption.
