Hmmm a Tasmanian devil and a Koala are the same "kind" of animal in that they are both marsupial but they are wildly different species which could not possibly interbreed.

I think the Ken Hamian definition of "kind" leaves much, much too much wiggle room.

But the picture it paints of pete's theory of natural selection becomes more and more amusing.

In the 4,000 years since the flood did some Asian marsupial migrate to Australia then branch out to become each _kind_ found today? Or did carnivores and Herbivores and other kinds of animals migrate there and spontaneously and simultaneously lose their placentas. Is the platypus the only remaining four footed creeping fowl?

Certainly there seen to be enough wild theories to fill a $23,000,000 museum.
