According to the first chapter of Genesis, plants and animals reproduce after their kind. I think creationists believe that two organisms are of the same kind if they can produce viable offspring. If the theory of macroevolution were true, then plants and animals would change beyond the limits of their kind.
What does your thesis leave you to believe about the seventh day?
The seventh day is a normal day in human reckoning. The lack of morning and evening references to the seventh day also indicate that in God's reckoning, the great Sabbath begins, into which we will go, as Hebrews tells us.
