The subtribe(*1) Flaveriinae (Asteraceae: Helenieae) includes a number of plant species sometimes called yellowtops, glowworts, and false broomweed. Different species of this subtribe differ in their chemical pathways involved in photosynthesis. Some species use a system known as C3 photosynthesis, some use a system known as C4 photosynthesis(*2), and others display characteristics intermediate between the two(*3). The authors apply a creationist research method known as baraminology to determine whether the species might have been created separately, or whether they may have descended from a single created ancestral species. They present a large amount of evidence that suggests the entire subtribe belongs to a single lineage which includes additional species not included in the study(*4). The evidence also implies that the originally created ancestor used C3 photosynthesis, and that the C4 photosynthesis present in some species emerged since the creation(*5). The characteristics of the intermediate species and the genetics of C4 species support the hypothesis that latent genetic information may have been present in the ancestor, and activated during post-Flood diversification of the group, possibly through a mechanism called Altruistic Genetic Elements.
1)
subtribeso they're related, but different to each other...but it's not evilution!
2)
Some species use a system known as C3 photosynthesis, some use a system known as C4 photosynthesis
and
3)
characteristics intermediate between the two
so we have a progression between C3 and C4, showing clear links between both...BUT IT'S NOT EVILUTION!!!!1111
4)
They present a large amount of evidence that suggests the entire subtribe belongs to a single lineage which includes additional species not included in the studyso what they're saying is that these plants are related to each other quite closely, sharing
taxonomicbarominic features...BUT THEY'RE NOT EVOLVED AND IT'S NOT EVILUTION!!!111ONEONEONE
5)
The evidence also implies that the originally created ancestor used C3 photosynthesis, and that the C4 photosynthesis present in some species emerged since the creationso it wen't from C3, through clear intermediate phases, to C4...BUT IT DIDN'T EVOLVE! IT DIDN'T! IT'S A LIE! OMGWTFBBQ!
froth-froth-froth-froth-gurgle....
