"Because domestic wheat is a descendant of wild emmer grass, through mutations and natural and human-directed selection. Now, domestic wheat is a different species."

This proves wheat is of the same kind. Much like wolves probably begat dogs. But if the DNA has been artifically manipulated, then it's a different issue.

What's your take on Haung's conclusion?

<< This proves wheat is of the same kind. >>


So -- speciation does not occur -- but when it DOES occur, it's okay, because it's the same "kind."

I have been asking creationists for ten years to define "kind." I get a lot of evasions -- and when I do get answers, I get things like "species" -- or "genus" -- or "order" -- or even "family."

What is a "kind" and where do we find a definition like that in science?
