Take for example, uh, a Gila Monster and a salamander, are they the same kind? Well certinly not. They're both LIZARDS of a different kind.

No, but somewhere in the past, they share a common ancestor. (And are *still* both lizards.)
ETA: Okay, I fucking FAIL at science. Salamanders are amphibians.
They're both lizards of a different kind.
As opposed to just one of them being a lizard of a different kind.
And incidentally, as others have pointed out, salamanders ain't lizards.
Salamanders are not lizards! They are amphibians, as other people said.
This is as bad as that one Geico gecko commercial in which the little green mascot is referred to as an "amphibian". Nope, sorry Geico, geckos are reptiles.
Except one is a lizard, which is a reptile, and the other is a salamander, an amphibian. Which means they are both of different kinds and so you fail sir.
What's even better is that someone pointed out the salamander=/=lizard in the comments and all he responded with:
"'A salamander and a Gila Monster are both lizards???'
National Geographic:
ht tp : // animals . nationalgeographic . com / animals / reptiles / gila-monster . h t m l
'the venomous Gila monster (pronounced HEE-luh) is the largest lizard native to the United States.'
Totally lost are we?"
Then again, this is coming from someone who believes a book that says bats are birds
@WMD, don't feel bad I thought they were lizards too.
Oh well at least we're smarter than Nephilim. We didn't think that Gila Monsteres and salamanders came from dirt 6000 years ago.
Okay, so "kinds" equals "species". Good to know.
Now can you please tell us how Noah fit all those different "kinds" onto the ark?
Actually Salamanders are amphibians. Gila Monsters are lizards.
They are not the same kind. Take a gila monster and place it under water, do the same to a salamanader. Give it a good hour.
Guess which one lives and which dies?
@QT
Kinds does not equal species.
Kinds for example range from "Human Kind" (species) to Bacteria Kind (Kingdom)
They are arbitrary concepts that change and do not sit within the linnaeic system.
Yeah, and the Gila monsters, after they left the ark, wandered across the deserts of Egypt and Libya, jumped into the Atlantic and swam 3,000 miles to Mexico, partied for a while at Spring Break in Cancun, then headed for the US desert.
Reminds me of a question on my first college biology quiz:
"Which of the following is not a taxonomic category?
A. Kingdom
B. Order
C. Kind
D. Phylum
E. Genus"
And that was the complete set of references to creationism in the whole class. About the degree of serious consideration that creationism deserves.
>implying that the salamander is a lizard
You Fail Taxonomy Forever.
Is this the new "bats are birds" argument?
"They're both LIZARDS "
Another F in biology.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
