The
notion of "kind" is a creationist fabrication. Basically, the
creationist meaning is, "a compartment enclosed by a barrier erected as a
barricade against evolution". It is non-Biblical. Neither the theory of
evolution, nor anti-evolutionist notions appear in scripture. The
theory of evolution was arrived at some considerable time after the
Bible was completed. "Kind", in King James' English, simply means
"sort", "type", or "species". And "after their kind" merely means, "according
to their type" - "selon leurs espèces" in the French Bible, for
example. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that creatures do or must
"reproduce after their kind". It says that the earth and the waters
_produced_ or _brought forth_ all the living creatures after their kind
(according to their species).
It is forbidden to add to scripture or to distort pervert its meaning, yet this is precisely what so-called "Bible believing Christians" do.
Read Genesis 1. Carefully. See for yourself what it actually says.
