   OK; I'll play along.  So, what does "after its kind" even mean?  What is   
   a "kind"?  Do all caninds represent one dog-kind?  How about all mammals?   
   All vertebrates?  All organisms with axial symmetry?  All eukaryotic   
   multicellular organisms with longitudinal segregation of somites?

   Rule #1 in science, or for any intelligent conversation: makes sure   
   everyone is using the same definitions.  We're all waiting to hear.
