Why Creationists are so Bully on "Kind"

Creationists really know how to take all the fun and creativity out of life.  Many of them will not admit that there are constellations in the sky, except for the Zodiac.  I guess astrology can live on, but astronomy cannot!  It does not take much thought to figure out why they want all of astronomy forgotten:  not only because it unlocks the answer to our origin and our age, but also the constellations have myths of earlier gods attached to them.  How devious of them to try to erase humans' history.

In a like manner, they want to erase taxonomy and phylogeny; any classification of animals and plants, including the human animal.  That is precisely the reason - they want to get rid of any evidence that humans are animals and are related to other animals.  Their idea is to teach that humans are a "kind," the human kind, and there is a dog kind (how inaccurate of the dog's origin), and a cat kind.  According to Ken Ham, they went on the ark and populated their species when they departed.  (We know that dog originated from the asiatic wolf, which came from earlier animals, but Ken Ham apparently cannot allow himself to learn anything but what facts he makes up.)

If our classification system is erased, we will not have our history and we will not be able to point to all the characteristics we share with other animals or do not share, such as opposable thumbs and mammary glands, forward facing eyes, etc.  When I find a site that explains all of our like characteristics in a manner that is easy to understand and is exactly what I desire, I will post it.  For now, I will post the Creationist's human history, and then two different scientific histories of humans.

1.  CREATIONIST'S HISTORY

Kind:  Human

(*How would anyone get graded in science class - everyone would receive an A!)



1. SCIENTIFIC HISTORY  (Linnaean Classification of Humans

Kingdom:   Animalia       Phylum:   Chordata           Subphylum:   Vertebrata                Class:   Mammalia                     Subclass:   Theria                          Infraclass:   Eutheria                               Order:   Primates                                    Suborder:  Anthropoidea                                         Superfamily:  Hominoidea                                              Family:   Hominidae                                                   Genus:   Homo                                                        Species:  sapiens

2.  SCIENTIFIC HISTORY BROKEN DOWN FURTHER (From first organisms to present day homo sapiens.  All of this is wiped out with Ken Ham's version.)  I copied this list from Wiki!
