As usual, you completely miss the point. Of course a weed species has, for its immediate ancestor, another weed species. Only creationists think whole new styles of critter spring full blown. You just keep on using your strawman version of evolution to argue against, and folks who know what they are talking about will continue to laugh at you and consider you thick.

No, creationists don't think ANY critter has sprung full blown since the garden of Eden.It's been just varieties of them (like your weed) since then. That's all we've ever observed. That's all that can be determined by SCIENCE.
Variation is allowed for in the genes of the creature. Evolution into other kinds of creatures isn't. A sea-horse will not become a race-horse, no matter how many million years you wait. It will not become a half-and-half horse either.
You are the one with the straw man - ASSUMING that because a weed can show variation into a weed, that means it can eventually become a praying mantis, or a mouse, or a monkey, or a man. That's like assuming because a person grows from 18" to six feet by the time he's 16, that he will grow to 10 or 12 feet tall by the time he's 40.
