* Well said! And they should practice a kind of non-phylogenetic
systematics, that would depend on grouping by syn-creato-morphies to
isolate the originally created kinds. But the alternative is that what
they really believe in Darwin's straw-man God from the Origin, who
magically made everything to seamlessly appear as if it had "descended
with modification by natural selection," just to test the faith of his
followers.  So it would be an act of hubris on their part to ask any of
the kinds of questions now regarded as 'biological' about the creation.
