• How are animals normally organized? (Taxonomy)
Taxonomy is a branch of biological science involved with classifying organisms based on characteristics they share in common. Using morphological, behavioral, genetic and biochemical observations, taxonomists identify, describe and arrange species into a hierarchical system of groups.[1] Because taxonomists also identify and name organisms, it could be argued that Adam was the first to perform this aspect of taxonomy.[2] The Linnean Taxonomic Hierarchy, which is still used today, was developed in the 18th century by Carolus Linnaeus. As Carolus Linnaeus's work Systema Naturae was published over 100 years before Charles Darwin published his theory, his writings do not mention or makes any references to evolution. Linnaeus was a deeply religious man, believing his work "would reveal the Divine order of God's creation". Many new taxonomic groups have been added since Linnaeus first developed the modern system, and today evolutionary relationships dominate taxonomy. Taxonomy originally involved grouping organism based on the easily observable characteristics they share in common (morphology). All organisms assigned to a particular group possess the same features. Each group is then subdivided so as to further distinguish its members based on their differences. This hierarchy of groups and subgroups provides a systematic method for classifying and naming organisms.

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class,
Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

• What is a Biblical “Kind”?
Created kinds are organisms that are defined by creation biology as sharing a common ancestry. The phrase refers to the Genesis account of the creation week during which God created many kinds of plants and animals. They are also referred to as “original kinds.” “Genesis kinds.” and more formally by creation scientists as baramin. The term barmin was coined in 1941 by Frank Marsh from the Hebrew words bara (create) and, min (kind). The study of baramin (known as Baraminology) is a rapidly growing field of creation science involved with the identification of the created kinds

• Is there evidence for a Common Creator vs. Common Ancestor? Common Designer? Yes. Common Ancestor? No. Similarities in design do not mean descent from one common ancestor but demonstrate one common Design.
(Source: http://www.creationstudies.org/operationsalt/common-designer-not-ancestor.html)
• What is Homology?
Homology is a shared design concept that is generally assumed by evolutionists to be the result of a shared ancestry and therefore providing support for the Darwinian theory of common descent. Evolutionists assert that if multiple organisms evolved from the same ancestor, they would possess structural similarities. The concept of homology (as proof of Darwinism) is commonly taught as a matter of fact in public schools. In contrast, creationists view most "homologous" structures as a reflection that they were designed by the same creator. It is held that a brilliant and well functioning design would be applied to multiple organisms, much in the same way as human designers apply concepts.
