The use of the word "kind" and "sort" does not have to fit in with the ever changing definition of the word "species". They are two different things.

Give some examples to compare and contrast the distinctions. I'll help you get started: G3k and medved have claimed that (paraphrasing) "for purposes of discussing evolution" the equidae (horses, donkeys, 2 species of zebra, etc) "are one species". G3k has gone so far as to claim that llamas and (both species of) camels are also one species. Would you say they are the same 'kind'? What about mules?

I really don't know what the word 'kind' means. That is the point. It is foolish to argue when none of us knows exactly what the Bible definition means. That is why I don't debate this. I only debate the subject from an atheist/theist standpoint. Parts of the theory of evolution may or may not be true but the idea that life came into being without intelligent intervention is absurd.
