Biblical Kinds vs Species

What's the Difference and Why It Matters

Understanding God's Biblical Biological Classification of Life

also on this page: Understanding the Difference Between "Micro" vs "Macro" Evolution

In the Bible, God uses the term 'Kinds' to classify plant and animal life. Science uses another classification system of 'Species' and 'Families.' It's important to understand the difference.

For Example: There is one Dog 'Kind' and a whole lot of 'trait variations' or breeds within that one dog kind. Generally, each 'kind' can reproduced within its own kind, but not outside its kind.

NOTE: The term 'KINDS' is closer to the secular biological classification of 'FAMILY' rather than 'SPECIES' (which is at the bottom).

MICRO-EVOLUTION
COMMONLY OBSERVED
"SMALL CHANGES" in one 'kind' of animal, often called 'trait variations.' Example: Dogs which have different colors, sizes, features, but are still dogs.

MACRO-EVOLUTION
NEVER OBSERVED
"BIG CHANGES" over long periods of time. One 'kind' of animal changing into a completely different and new 'kind' of animal.

The Evolution Establishment profess Evolution to be true based upon what they call Micro-Evolution: Small Changes within an animal 'kind' - which most just call 'trait variations' within a 'kind' - easily recognizable by all.

Using this same Evolutionary Methodology AND continuing to use the dog 'kind' in this discussion...
- it would be like the foolishness of declaring a Labradoodle Dog to be a new species and its existence as proof of the Theory of Evolution.

Labradoodles are bred from Poodle and Labrador dogs. Biblical Creationists know this is not a new 'kind' of animal, just God's pre-programmed design for variations within the dog 'kind.'

The Evolution Establishment also teaches Macro-Evolution: Big Changes 'over long periods of time' - one 'kind' transitioning into or 'evolving' into another 'kind' - yet no transitional evidence has ever been found that that holds up to scientific scrutiny. The 'Missing Link' is still missing! They continue to believe in Macro-Evolution, against standard scientific methodology, based only upon a blind-faith and desire to support the idea of a godless creation.
