I contacted the "braying Jackass" about bacterial and viral genes being
incorporated into genomes. Here is his response:
"As for the comment about these genes not resulting from common
descent, I could
not agree more. However, there are a number evolutionary
scientists, including
one of the leaders of the DOE's genome project, that are saying exactly that --
the presence of these genes in the human genome is evidence of common descent
(ex. see Nature. 2001. 411:940; Science. 2001. 292:1903). Perhaps you would
want to contact these various evolutionists and explain to them their
incredible
ignorance.
"Yes, some evolutionists do insist such HGT between bacteria and
humans occurred
recently (ex. TIG. 2001. 17:235). But, they have no explanation of how this
happened, only speculation. Therefore, would you please provide even one
demonstrated means by which bacterial genes can be incorporated into the human
gene line. This information is apparently widely and thoroughly known so you
should have no problem quickly providing such information. This "braying
jackass" is always anxious to learn new information.
