Modern biology has come to realize that all life is built upon information stored within DNA. Until now, discussions of genetic information have relied almost exclusively on models of information that do not use variables. The result is that a scientific understanding of life is hindered, because investigations are based on inaccurate models of biological information. By contrast, the Bible's description of created kinds implies an information model which uses variables. The findings in this paper show that a model which uses variables forms a stronger basis for true scientific understanding of biology and, by implication, the Bible provides a superior foundation for scientific investigation. In addition, the paper is able to propose a definition of biblical kinds based upon an information model which uses variables.
