But rather than bother trying to boil the concept down, here is an explanation from one of the horse's mouth itself at http://crossspot.net/objective/baraminology.html

Um, that site is a parody from the people that brought you landoverbaptist.com

Don't feel bad, some parodies are getting toooo close to the real thing-almost undetectable without some investigation.

What are your ideas...maybe I'll do it anyway for fun and link to a Powerpoint and send emails to all the Creationists sites to identify the kinds

Well, considering how few large animal species there are compared to the multitudes of critters, it's probably a never ending chase. For example fish:

Chondrostei
Polypteriformes (e.g. bichirs, reedfish)
Polyodontidae (paddlefish)
Acipenseridae (sturgeons)
Holostei
Ginglymodi (gars)
Halecomorphi (bowfins)
Teleostei
Osteoglossomorpha (arowana, elephant trunk fish)
Elopomorpha (tarpons, gulper eels)
Clupemorpha (pacific herrings)
Euteleostei
Ostariophysi (piranhas, mirror carp)
Protacanthopterygii (rainbow trout, pikes)
Stenopterygii (hatchet fish, viper fish)
Cyclosquamata (thread sail)
Scopelomorpha (lantern fish)
Lampridiomorpha (oar fish)
Polymixiomorpha (beardfish)
Paracanthopterygii (devil anglerfish, toadfish)
etc. etc. (sorry, I got bored of typing it all out)

Then there's the crustaceans, which include everything from water fleas to tongue worms to barnacles before we get to the more familiar stuff like shrimp and crabs.

It's not really a fair fight.

Has anyone ever asked a creationist how Noah got them all on the ark? Let's forget about the fact that not all of them would fit, but are they actually trying to get us to believe that all of these creatures were...what? In Noah's home town?

Two options they usually put out are

1)all the continents were pangea(which was true) but the flood split it up and moved the plates away(the fact that they would have had to move several 10's if not hundreds of miles a day and then miraculously slowed down a year later...well...you figure it out)

2. Goddidit....

Just a reminder that some scientists are proposing that we may need to rethink the human "kind" to include such things as chimpanzees and bonobos:

That is unfair and uncalled for - I think you should issue an immediate appology -- to the Bonobo's.....
