I don’t care if it’s punctuated or not. Agriculture is the opposite of evolution because the main element in agriculture is the deliberate application of human intelligence to the development of improved specimens.

Trying to pretend that genomic changes in a plant that was a commercialized domestic crop 6000 years ago is evidence of anything other than design is the worst sort of agenda driven anti-science there is.

No, it’s not. Artificial selection is sometimes effective, sometimes not; our ancestors didn’t have any valid models for how plant breeding works, that is evidenced in written records as far back as they go — total wackadoo mysticism all the way back. Trying to pretend that humans designed the genome 6000 years ago is the worst sort of agenda driven anti-science that there is.
