Baraminology

Baraminology, a biblical creationist system, classifies animals into groups called "created kinds" or "baramin" according to the account of creation in the book of Genesis and other parts of the Bible. It claims that kinds cannot interbreed and have no evolutionary relationship to one another.Kurt P. Wise devised the word "baraminology" in 1990 on the basis of Frank Lewis Marsh's 1941 coinage of the term "baramin" from the Hebrew words ברא bara (he created) and מין min (a kind). In the creation narrative in Genesis, ברא bara is the operative verb, and the root מין min, in several forms, occurs there several times, with a variety of prefixes and suffixes, frequently translated after its own kind. The root מין min also occurs with reference to the kinds of animals saved in the story of Noah's Ark in Genesis and the division between clean and unclean animals in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. While "ברא מין" bara min can be read as a Hebrew sentence meaning "he created a kind", the contraction to "בראמין" is more typical of English contractions than a likely Hebrew construction to mean "a created kind." Baraminology borrowed its key terminology, and much of its methodology, from the field of Discontinuity Systematics founded by Marsh in the 1940s.

The US National Academy of Science and numerous other scientific and scholarly organizations recognize creation science as pseudoscience.

The question of determining the boundaries between baramin is a subject of much discussion and debate among creationists. A number of criteria have been presented.
