Abstract

The author speculates about the degree of excellence with which the Creator first endowed the newly created kinds (MIN), and suggests that one manifestation of this past glory was the genetic variability with which each "kind' was endowed. The canids are used as an example to demonstrate this potential for variability. The article proceeds to list the major categories of canids: 118 different breeds of domestic dogs and many types of mongrels, Pariah Dogs, Dingoes, and seven true wild dogs; four different species of jackals; five different species of wolves, among which the Gray Wolves and Coyotes are known to occur in a large variety of races; and at least 13 different species of Foxes. All four major categories of canids have been known to crossbreed. While evolutionists consider these many varieties as results of evolutionary processes at work, the author argues that these varieties "devolved" from superior created canids, but within the boundaries of the MIN, He also suggests that creationists begin to use the term "baramin" when referring to 'kind."
