Kind, in that context, is synonymous with species. The Old Testament wasn't written in English. Specimens (individuals) of each species (kind) always produce offspring of the same species (kind). No violence is done to the scriptures by scientific knowledge.

Now you're playing games with words. You required an example of a thousand-cell species. I provided one.

A second example was also offered, i.e., you when you were a zygote. You didn't limit your requirement to adults. Zygotes are specimens of animals with very few somatic cells. You then, after the fact, introduced the new requirement of adulthood. Still, that leaves the example I provided of the thousand-cell adult species. You keep moving the goalpost.

Give mew a break. You gave an example of an adult. The context of this conversation is adult examples.

Yes, I gave you an example of an adult as well. Now you say a thousand somatic cells is too large, while before you included that as an example that you'd fine persuasive. You keep moving the goalpost.

That said, it's unlikely that you'd find a multicellular organism with much fewer than a thousand cells, since it's likely that nature quickly settled on larger numbers of cells at the colony phase of the evolution of multicellular life, as complexity is more adaptive than simplicity, and complexity requires more cells.

Taxonomy is a funny thing since it is always changing and there are always different systems being used at the same time. A friend of mine is still teaching and came down to visit my wife and me. She was working on some tests that had a taxonomic system that I had never seen.

I was lecturing in my Zoology class several years ago when I noticed that the taxonomic system of the new edition of the book was very different from the earlier edition. How embarrassing. So much for class prep. I did a whole lot of reading that night.

One of the major species I studied for a thesis had a name change while I was writing. That was annoying in the days of typewriters.

The Rainbow Trout has had a significant change since I took Ichthyology back in 1973. The taxonomists not only changed the name of the species but also put into a different genus. Several of the other fish I knew back then have different names now.

I spent a good deal of time looking at different textbooks for several classes. One thing that was annoying was that there were often as many as different taxonomic organizations as there were different textbooks. The number of Kingdoms ranged from three or four to about ten.

The Cladistics folks are trying to change all taxonomic categories to conform to their ideas.

Taxonomy is one of the softest parts of a soft science. Those who are still active in the field are constantly trying to make it a better description of what exists in the real world.

... there is no thousand celled creature.

Look at rotifers, gastrotrichs, and a few others. Some sponges and corals may also fit your requirements.

I have no evidence that you're anything other than a life-long pedophile.

What about Hitler, Stalin & Pol Pot??? Every one of them had exposure to Christianity...IIRC, Hitler had even considered becoming a priest when he was a child.

Lot's of scientists I read don't agree with you. Is a goat and a sheep the same species? I think they are the same kind because someone successfully read them.

Also Rhombozoa.

Now there is a documentation that a guy who got his GED when he was fifty-one years old can make a mistake. Now show us the creatures with fewer cells than this one. After all your theory depends on their existence.

Remember, according to the Bible, God committed genocide more than once, with the Flood in Genesis being an example of almost total Genocide on a global scale..

Given that, I suspect Hitler, Stalin & Pol Pot would feel right at home in Heaven and be in good company..

The biological sciences can be characterized as a nonstop series of street signs pointing to evolution.

Very crucial distinction.

Why are there so many Ph.D and master's degree scientists who disagree with this opinion?
