| − | According to [[scripture]], '''Kinds''' are categories of related [[animals]]. God created a number of different types of animals with much capacity for variation within limits. The descendants of each of these different kinds, apart from humans, would today mostly be represented by a larger grouping than what is called a [[species]]. In most cases, those species descended from a particular original kind would be grouped today within what modern taxonomists call a [[genus]]. There are however some important difference between a Kind and Species.
