Hello @Truthseeker1 You seem to be defining “kind” by some sort of intuitive sense and you then mix groups. I don’t think you mean that all birds are one “kind” such that any bird can make any other bird sand that is just variation that can change in that entire group. If not where are the boundaries. Think of it this way, why can’t a cat and dog be the same kind? You might respond that cats and dogs are both mentioned in the bible and thus they are different sorts of animals that God must have made as distinct creations. But you have just said you think that “dogs” all all a kind but the Bible mentions foxes, wolves and domestic dogs and maybe African wild dogs and so are we to believe these are separate “kind” as well? If these “dogs” could have come from a common ancestor on the ark then why could cats and dogs not have come from a common “ark kind” as well? Afterall, can you name a character of cat a dog that are not just variations on a theme? One has retractable claws and the other doesn’t. But isn’t that just a different attribute that may change? (BTW, fossil cats don’t have retractable claws). Also consider that no creationists has been able to point to a single dog or cat fossil from before the Flood so there is no evidence that there were separate “kinds” before the Flood.
