'''Baraminology''', otherwise known as ], is a method of ] ] and ] proposed by ] for the study and classification of the ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
At its heart, barimonology differs from mainstream ] and ] in that while mainstream cladistics holds that all life descended from a single protocell, bariminology tracks the ] back to a finite number of discrete forms of life, as originally created by ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
==Origin of the term== |
|
|
The term ''baraminology'' was originally proposed by Kurt P. Wise in 1990 to cover the study of ''baramins'' - in turn a word proposed by Frank L. Marsh in 1941 derived from the ] words ''bara'' (create) and ''min'' (kind) to represent the different ''kinds'' described in the ] in the ] descriptions of the ] and ], and the ] and ] division between clean and unclean. |
|
|
|
|
|
==Methodological terms== |
|
|
Baraminology aims to use four terms to distinguish kinds or groups: ''holobaramin'', ''monobaramin'', ''apobaramin'', and ''polybaramin''. |
|
|
|
|
|
===Holobaramin=== |
|
|
A holobaramin is a entire group (past and present) sharing a common ], and therefore a genetic relationship. For example, ]s form a holobaramin, since (in creationist theory) they were created as a single kind and therefore share no ancestral or genetic relationship with other animals. |
|
|
|
|
|
By contrast, the posutulate of ] in the ] would suggest that there is only one holobaramin covering all ]s. |
|
|
|
|
|
===Monobaramin=== |
|
|
A monobaramin is a part of a holobaramin. So, for example, ]s could be seen as a monobaramin from the holobaramin of the '']'' which originally included ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
===Apobaramin=== |
|
|
An apobaramin is a number of complete holobaramins grouped together. For example, all ] together would form an apobaramin since (in creationist theory) they were not a single kind of plant at the moment of their creation (at least ]-bearing plants and ] can be distinguished) but there is no single holobaramin that includes both plants and animals. |
|
|
|
|
|
===Polybaramin=== |
|
|
A polybaramin is a group made up of parts of different holobaramins. For example, the ]s currently alive in ] would form a polybaramin. |
