What are kinds creationists?

The word “kind” is still majorly undefined.The best(by default)definition is from Ken Ham,”if two animals can interbreed they are in a kind.”However this doesn’t account for kinds that have animals that can’t interbreed like Equus and Canidae.

Can any creationist explain what a kind is and how to recognize different kinds?How do you know some closely related animals that can’t interbreed are still in the same kind?How do you differentiate closely related animals that are in separate kinds like hippos and whales?is there a reasonable explanation for hippos and whales to be in separate created kinds?

What Jurassic Park legos would like to see?

After building the Jurassic Park jeep I wanted more big Jurassic Park sets.I was disappointed to learn the only other one is going to be the Triceratops not that it’s bad but there are no more after that.

Lego needs to make a UCS for Jurassic Park but what would that include?

My own personal list would be

Have your own list in the comments.

Does anyone here think John Hammond is a villain?

One major reason I believe John Hammond isn’t a good as the movie portrays him is the trailer scene.

He barges into Grant and Sattler’s trailer having almost destroyed the exquisitely persevered raptor skeleton to toast to himself.

Now it’s not like that champagne is expensive.Moet and Chandon at most goes for about 100 dollars but Hammond is a billionaire so he could’ve easily just bought his own champagne.I wonder what he would’ve done if Grant and Sattler didn’t have champagne, toast with milk?This one scene tells you he is not actually a nice guy.Side note he also pours the champagne in a tumbler instead of the flites in front of him.He is a greedy cheapskate that is willing to cut corners anytime he can to save time or money.

Edit:I mean movie Hammond

Why is there a ball joint on this set

As I was going through my collection of Jurassic Park legos I noticed there is a ball joint on the triceratops head Lego set.The confusion thing is this head has nothing for the joint to connect to so why is it there.The only explanation I have is it if you want to connect this to the full Triceratops body Lego set that comes out on the first of June.If anyone has a better explanation please tell me

As somebody who thinks evolution has a lot of evidence

(I needed to phrase this better as my last post wasn’t clear)

I think evolution has a lot of evidence.
I think evolution is the best model for biodiversity.
I think creationists often misinterpret it to make themselves sound right.

The main part of evolution I am referring to is common ancestry.I personally think that birds being descendants of dinosaurs is substantiated by evidence.However there is no way to prove it neither can you prove whales evolved from artiodactyls.

The main point is this evolution is open to opinion and questioning.Certain aspects might have a different explanation but it doesn’t mean the whole idea is false as creationists have said.

My favorite part of the original Jurassic Park novel

For me it’s version 4.4

It perfectly shows off John Hammond stroking his ego that he created dinosaurs and they are real.Over the health and wellbeing of his staff the people who made this park he chooses “realism”.His own hubris blinds him to the cold hard truth his dinosaurs are genetically modified illusions.On the other hand it shows unlike Hammond, Dr.Wu understands his work isn’t real and it’s just an illusion.He is the one who is willing to change for the better even if it impacts the park but Hammond shuts it down preferring “authentic” dinosaurs that pose serious risk if they break out.

This single scene for me is at least top 3 best character development scenes capturing both John Hammond and Dr. Henry Wu.

What could Jurassic World 8 even be about?

From a creative standpoint I really don’t know what they will do after Rebirth killed the dinosaurs again.People are sick and tired of the getting marooned on a tropical island and having to survive dinosaurs format of Jurassic Park/World.While Dominion sucked it had interesting ideas like a dinosaur blackmarket ,but now no more ideas like that can be developed in depth.The ideas I have would be dinosaurs starting to move back out of the tropics or a journey into the tropics.However the former of dinosaurs journeying back into the rest of the world would plagued by pacing issues.The latter would just be another repeat of the tired trope of having the main characters go into a tropical environment and dodge dinosaurs.

The Phylogeny challenge from Aron Ra

Any Creationist here can try to answer the phylogeny challenge.Which is showing where on a cladogram kinds stop being related

rules

  1. the kinds have to be

two

  1. evolution theory says are closely related
  2. Provide evidence that there is a barrier here

Creationists give me your best evidence against whale evolution.

Show me that whales using genetics and morphology correctly are distinct from artiodactyls.

The main points I would bring up to argue for whale evolution would be
1.transitional forms
2.the genetic and anatomical similarities between hippos and whales
3.embryology

Argue against these to prove me wrong

I just can’t see it through

Why does Basilosaurus have legs?

Is there a reason God gave it legs and not some other structure that doesn’t make it seem like they evolved?
Also why does it have the double pulley astragalus the ankle bone of artiodactyls why not any other ankle bone?

This in my opinion is evidence against intelligent design because why would God specifically give Basilosaurus legs and an antelope’s ankle to make it seem like they evolved?

My Idea for a Jurassic Park parody

A company called InCen(International Cinema Technologies) has brought back Jurassic Park from extinction after terrible sequels doomed the franchise .However right before the park opens a raptor kills an employee(the scene will parody Scream’s opening scene) and the park’s investors are a bit shaky.(I haven’t thought of parody names yet so I will use the film names for know) Hammond looks out to get a Jurassic Park fan and a director(Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler to check the park to see if it’s still logical and not ridiculous.However another character being a Paroditician(Ian Malcolm) says that you can’t prevent a movie franchise from descending into horrible sequels and retcons or even more dangerously parodies.The park seems normal until overworked a VFX artist(Dennis Nedry) decides to take some of the park’s sequel ideas and spin offs(embryos).He turns off the power allowing the dinosaurs to escape.That’s when it becomes apparent the park isn’t normal.The T.Rex starts acting like a car salesman and the velociraptors are religious zealots.Join these characters in an adventure 65 packs of weed in the making.

Now this is a first plot synopsis I have made so if you can give me some pointers that would be greatly appreciated.
