No, not at all. Defining kind is easy - descendants of an original pair created by God. The difficult part would be figuring out to what kind a given animal belongs. [Defining guilt and innocence for a specific suspect and a specific crime is easy; figuring out if that suspect is guilty or innocent is often exceedingly difficult.]

In spite of a desire to attack the fool Darwin wasn't a complete imbicile. I mean He did make some observations that indicate some mechanisims are at work in the natural world. I think that the biggest and greatest of these is adaptation.
I do have a slight problem with adaptation in that it ignores which is cause and which is effect. If I were an all knowing creator and in the wisdom of my creation I saw fit to create a marine iguana to inhabit a place in my creation that would be doable. If I wanted to curse a snake and cause it to crawl on its belly that would be doable.
The problem is that examining those creatures from a human perspective they would appear to have adapted to their envrionment. So it is hard to determine where divine design ends and animal ability to adapt begins.

Quite correct. It is hard to determine if an animal is a kind in itself or a variety within a kind.

Andrew Wiles, hmm, the first name rings a bell, the last name doesn't quoted along with BGoodForGoodSake
. This proves nothing, what was the point of this?

I guess the days of elegant 17th century proofs are over.

IYHO, the thousands of Catholics who believe in evolution are atheists ?
Catholics didn't use to accept evolution, but now because it is being pushed on everyone, they have been pushed to accept it - see
here. Perversion of religion and church. I think that if they (and they do) believe in evolution AND God, that wouldn't make sense. Where dose the Bible teach evolution??? PROOF, PROOF, PROOF, evolution is in no way atheism from non-biased sources, 50 minimum links or 150 or more.

Excellent observation.

...and all the atheists here ignore me on my posts within this thread... So I guess failure to show proof from non-biased sources that evolution in any form and kind IS NOT atheism is indeed atheism. You are all atheists!!! Your god is nature, you believe in no divine being (God).

A non-biased source would not refer to either side, so would not proove that evolution does not equate with atheism. Therefore it would be difficult to find 2 links let alone 50.

If you present no proof, evolution is stone-cold atheism.

Yes, I did, please SHOW me where "yom" or in the Bible as we have it says "and God evolved the first life on the first 100 million years..." or something like that.

Not everything is in the bible. Take gravity, and the fact that the Earth orbits around the sun for instance. Does that mean that those are inherently athiestic too?

No, but you are working your way there as well as all these "scientists".
