<< 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?
"What is a "kind" and where do we find a definition like that in science?"
I doubt if you'll find that term in scientific circles. It's Scripturely based.

If plausable--is what I said. That would mean from a mircoevolutionary concept--it might be feasible, in my opinion. (note: I said might, which means I would entertain the thought). But from a macro perspective, no. I don't believe there's compelling evidence suggesting a macroevolutionary process is "creating" new and different life forms--separate and genetically different from the "parent".
As far as the wheat and emmer grass studies, the fact that man has done much in "breeding" different strains may be one reason these are incompatible. Any of us in Kentucky can tell you that thoroughbreds are pretty much tapped out as "designer" racing horses. In fact, some are so inbred, that they're ineffective, can't reproduce, too fragile, etc. Probably because the bred has not benefited from genetic drift and diversity.
Just my hunch.
