But that doesn't make them the same species. You said earlier that Tigers and
Lions could interbreed but that they were different species. I think that the
morphological differences between St. Bernards and Chihuahua's are probably
greater than those between Tigers and Lions.
Reading the faq posted by Dan:
(http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-speciation.html) its obvious to me that
there isn't any real clear way to define a species especially when you add
plants and asexual organisms into the mix.
In any case, the FAQ should give plenty of ammunition to John for his next
conversation with his creationist friends.
