"No, I mean, define *kind*. Specifically. And scientifically."
*Kind* has no scientific meaning at all.
" Is that specific and scientific enough for you."
No, it's incredibly vague and has nothing to do with biological classification.
" Because species is used now as the word of the day does not cancel out the word "kind" as a scientific word."
Yes it does.

Kind is a scientific term. A german shepard is a kind of dog. A robin is a kind of bird. It is an interchangable word with species. I do not use the word species because it is a new word created by evolutionist to distant themselves fromt the Biblical term kind.
Websters, Second College Edition, New World Dictionary of the American Language ----kind---- 1. [Archaic] (a) origin (b) nature (c) manner; way 2. a natural group or division (the rodent kind) sometimes used in compounds (human-kind) 3.essential character 4. sort; variety: class
This definition is of the word kind it can be use in place of the word species and still convey to a person what is meant in a conversation even with a scientist.
Definition no. 4 clearly states everything that would be said about a German Shepard, It is a sort of dog, it is a variety of dog, it is a class of dog. You are just lying to yourself when you deny that kind is a scientific term, look up very old scientific documents they used the word kind not species, because the word species was not created.
The word species is used to distance yourself from the Bible.
