==Baraminological Terms==

* '''Holobaramin''': A Holobaramin is a grouping that contains all organisms related by descent, not excluding any. For example, Humans are a holobaramin, meaning all races are descended from a singular creation event (i.e. the creation of Adam and Eve) and will always be fully and completely human. (This is in contrast to the conclusions of evolutionary theory, which holds that the same process that separated man from beast also separated the human races from one another.)  An example would be [[dog]]s, which form a holobaramin since [[wolf | wolves]], [[coyote | coyotes]], domesticated dogs and other [[canid | canids]] are all descended from two individuals taken aboard the [[Noah's Ark | Ark]], and there are no other creatures that are genetically continuous with them. This term is synonymous with the use of "baramin" above and is the primary term in baraminology.  

* '''Holobaramin''': A Holobaramin is a grouping that contains all organisms related by descent, not excluding any. For example, Humans are a holobaramin, meaning all members of our species (Homo sapiens sapiens L.) are descended from a singular creation event (i.e. the creation of Adam and Eve) and will always be fully and completely human. (It should be noted in passing here, that the concept of "race" (which proposes that clusters of differences found in certain populations of humans such as for example, yellowish skin color and almond-shaped eyes, denote deeper, more fundamental differences between members of these populations) is no longer considered valid by most scientists. Culturally, many racial ideas and myths still stubbornly linger on, but recent research regarding genetic diversity in humans, has convinced a great majority of scientists that "race" is no longer a useful concept in understanding our species)  An example would be [[dog]]s, which form a holobaramin since [[wolf | wolves]], [[coyote | coyotes]], domesticated dogs and other [[canid | canids]] are all descended from two individuals taken aboard the [[Noah's Ark | Ark]], and there are no other creatures that are genetically continuous with them. This term is synonymous with the use of "baramin" above and is the primary term in baraminology.  

* '''Monobaramin''': A monobaramin is an ''ad hoc'' group of organisms who share common descent.  Any group of specific members of a holobaramin such as wolves, poodles, and terriers or the humans Tom, Dick, and Harry are monobarmins.  Holobaramins contain monobaramins; for instance, wolves are a monobaramin of the Dog holobaramin.
