MeshugeMikey: "Kinds translates into modern english...as Species."

Sorry, but in no possible way is that true.
Just consider, the total number of species on Earth is said to be circa nine million, around two million of them named, with 13,000 more added each year.
Of those circa 6,000 are mammals, 10,000 each birds and reptiles, 30,000 fish and 300,000 plants.
Point is: there is no possible way all those "species" would fit into Noah's Ark, or even 100 Arks.

That's why, in his debate with Bill Nye, Ken Ham suggested "kinds" equates to some higher biological classification, such as: genus, order, family or class -- of which there are progressively fewer -- at some point few enough that "two of each" might conceivably squeeze into Noah's Ark.

Well, that's Ham's "solution" to the "problem" of too many species, but his solution itself raises problems, for example:

Even if you insist that Noah's "kinds" represents today's, say, small number of "orders" (there are 26 Orders of mammals, four of reptiles, for example) there is no possible way for alleged "micro-evolution" to produce from 26 Orders 6,000 mammal Species (or correspondingly, 10,000 each birds and reptiles Species) in just 4,000 years!

So, no matter how you look at it, biblical "kinds" make no sense scientifically.
