There is no category in taxonomy called "kind".

Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

Still don't know what kind means in this context.
Humans only reproduce humans.
Animals only reproduce animals according to their kind -> Cats reproduce cats, dogs reproduce dogs, etc.

That is what the theory of evolution says too. There is no change of kind in evolution.
But kinds has no meaning in science or the science of taxonomy. Housecats are not the same kind as lions. Dogs are not the same kind as fennec foxes.
Humans are a kind of vertebrate and a kind of primate and a kind of mammal too. But reptiles are a kind of vertebrate. Birds are a kind of vertebrate.
Kind has no scientific definition and can me different things in different context to different people. Books are a kind of communication, but so is talking, singing and playing an instrument.
I noticed that too, but thought to stick with the claim that kind means something in taxonomy.

Humans are animals according to their kind. They are the ape kind. They are the mammal kind. They are the vertebrata kind, all that way back to eukaryote kind.
What about horses and donkeys? They one kind or two?
Your list makes no sense. Birds are a class of vertebrates with much variation. A sparrow can't breed with an ostrich even though both are birds.
Fish is also a class. A whitebait can't breed with a tiger shark.
Then for some reason you have broken mammals up into families or maybe species, cats and dogs could be interpreted either way I believe.
You said what I was trying to say but much more eloquently.
Dogs and cats are kinds of carnivores, but not the same kinds. They are kinds of mammals, but not the same kinds. They are kinds of invertebrates.
Since kind has no specific meaning, it is unclear what kind is being referred to.
A very mixed, mix of "kinds".
I'm kind of confused
Kind can be that confusing and why it has no value in classifying organisms.

Suggesting the same reason humans evolved from fish, so say the evolutionists. A giant leap out of the water for mankind?

Sounds fishy.

lol, but that's what they say...and better yet -- claim it is fact. And then give reasons such as flopping fish, and tetrapods, etc. moving onward to -- (maybe) gorillas and lastly in the mammalian line, humans...So when presented with the virtual fact that only humans can do things like read, report their experiences in writing, (invent TV), report visions, do scientific work, they must conclude by saying evolution did it.

Close but they apparently crawled out of the water - as so many still do today but they've missed the boat as to being top dog.
Science/biology help folk with understanding 'kind' on topic of living species.
Reading comprehension is a different topic.
That doesn't address the fundamentalist Christian view,
which is to start with the Bible as the premise, derive
science-like claims from it, & adapt actual science &
terminology to fit the Bible.
"Kinds" is a simplistic term do describe plants & animals
that the primitive authors knew of at the time...nothing
else. Some read the Bible to impose a barrier between
"kinds", now explained by the assumption that it lies in
genetics, ie, that genetic drift is prevented from straying
from a "kind". What is this genetic mechanism?
I've yet to hear anything other than "God did it".
It's analogous to sex & gender, ie, the Bible specifies
what exists, based on the moment of God's creation.
So even fully transitioned women are "men".

Watch a video on the human embryo development. From Single cell to guppies to a little doggy with tail and to a baby.
Yes, even you had a tail.
How old are you? You should show this to your children to help them see the steps of development. It will help with comprehending evolution.
There is far more on youtube but this one shares real life via ultrasound. There are many that are animated to show more details.
Enjoy and never think that observing nature and what is real put any god to shame, just the beliefs and religious misdirection will be over come.
