Chimps aren't monkeys; they're apes. If monkeys and apes are the same "kind", then humans should be in the same group. But "kind" is an amorphous "god of the gaps"-style word that seems to mean "species that some creationists accept evolved from common ancestors, with no real criteria.

There is no difference in evolutionary terms between finches evolving different beaks, and the evolution of different "kinds", because "kind" has no scientific meaning.
