How Much Variability is in a Kind?

Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so.
(Genesis 1:24) NKJV

We can combine Noah’s flood, Peleg’s tectonics and knowledge of the process of devolution to help us clear up what level of variability is represented by the Biblical word KIND.

Distribution of Biodiversity

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
(Hebrews 11:1) KJV

There were two horses on Noah’s ark but now there are at least seven species in genus Equus. That’s speciation or macro-evolution. It’s not a problem because the process of evolution has a scriptural context.

Species Concepts

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
(2 Corinthians 10:4-5) KJV

Understanding how the process of evolution incorporates into the creation narrative solves a lot of issues, not the least of which is the potential space problem on Noah’s ark.
