I wasnt talking about meiosis either. homologous recombination can occur outside of meiosis. That is fact.

Secondly... wikipedia isnt necessarily written by idiots either and i provided 2 papers for you to read except you were too quick to run with your head in a bucket of sand.

I have been studying genetics for years, I have never ever experienced homologous recombination outside meiosis. Do you even know what homologous means? It means same allele of a gene coming from different parent. How can this occur out meiosis? Pls defend this statement of yours because you are totally wrong in this, give me links too where there is homologous combination outside meiosis.

I don't think there are much differences between technological evolution and biological. Man's ability to think,reason,create and innovates helps him to transform himself from one physical feature and condition to another.

Humans would still be looking like apes on the bush if they have not thought of rszor/blades to shave. And you can see evidences of evolutionary traits and gaps among modern humans in the way people live. Some are thousands of years apart from each other in the evolutionary race,just because the ones behind are slow to catch up with the concept of evolution,as in the case of Africa that is bothering with ancient beliefs like Christianity and living in abject miseries as a result of not knowing. While the west is on the mission of relocating to mars with earth almost at its tatters from over exploration.

Biologically there is no difference between humans in African jungles 200 years ago and you, so please that you have computers now or that you go to the moon,is not [size=20pt]BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION[/size] if there is please tell me

Maybe now you will agree that wikipedia has misled you.

From experience, i will advice you never to trust one source of information. do you think i have not checked wikipedia too?. If you read wikipedia well, you will see that you can help them edit or improve some of their explanations, this is why they label them with 1,2,3 e.tc. If you use wikipedia so well, you will notice that.

all4naija: Stop beating around the bush. ooman is very correct and his explanation is clear enough.

Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about but simply jumped in to support a fellow atheist.

all4naija:
The genes used by genetic engineers can occur naturally but are engineered to what is now the trangene organism, being something different from the particular genes it is extracted from.

this is brainless word salad.

1. Of course all genes occur naturally... that would be a silly thing to be debating and certainly wasnt what the discussion was about.

2. What do you mean by "being something different from the particular genes it is extracted from"? Can you extract a gene from a gene? You simply need to clone a gene from a genome, you cant just cut out a gene from a living organism. That was the most senseless statement i've read on here all day.

3. There is nothing like a "transgene organism" - its a transgenic organism

all4naija:
In simple term, Trangene doesn't occur in that form naturally.

What is a "trangene"? A gene that is transfered is a transgene. Genes occur naturally and gene transfer is a well known fact of science.

What is it you were saying?

That is well said, but the process is called transformation not "transgenic". that word is not even a noun its an adjective, transgenic cannot therefore be a name of a process because it is not a noun. get that?

Did u just say 200 years? 200 years in in evolutionary traits is less than 1000th of a second.

These things have been for billions of years and it transforms,destroys,shape and recreate itself as time goes by

The only thing that remains the same is time and it remains as a concept as long as humans exist. Like every other thing,time is man's imagination.

Obviously you need to ask for a refund of your school fees. Homologous recombination is the most important pathway in DNA strand-break repair. Any genetics textbook worth its salt should contain a chapter on this. Here is a paper to make your day (unlike you, i actually provide evidence for my facts) -

DNA double-strand break repair by homologous recombination

I have read your link, but you failed to understand that where the word "homologous" was used, they refered to the process of meiosis even though they did not mention there, if you know genetics well, you will understand when they said " To maintain the integrity of the genome, multiple pathways for the repair of DSBs have evolved during evolution: homologous recombination (HR),........." Maintaining the integrity of the genome is only necessary during reproduction. Reproduction is meiotic division. Do you understand? You are the one that should not argue about what you do not understand.

They are also talking about conservation, conservation is necessary when you are passing down your genes, another meiotic division. Pls tell me you understand now.

Where is the proof that apes turned into humans?

Despite the evidence being pathetic, even if you claim the title of World's Biggest Optimist, evolutionists still tell the story that once upon a time humans evolved from ape-like creatures.

Many years ago this argument seemed credible to a lot of people because there was so little hominid fossil evidence that it was easy to imagine evolutionary links everywhere.

But things have changed. Thousands of fossils and fossil fragments of apes and humans have now been found — and they don't show a steady progression from apes to humans at all. Fossils have been found in the wrong time-frames, put into the wrong categories before all the evidence was in, and what was once thought to be the ape-human family tree now actually has no trunk — just unconnected branches.

Because evolutionists can't change their theory, they are stuck with the evidence looking more confusing for them with each new hominid/homin/hominine fossil discovery. Instead of clarifying the alleged link between apes and humans, new fossil discoveries are making it harder to show which type of ape or ape-like creature evolved into a human.

The proof is that chimpanzees and humans share more than 98% of their gene and so must have evolved from same ancestor.

That is verified. the ancestor of other apes and human diverged some 200tya. we progressively evolved from autralopethecus, then afarensis, then habilis, then erectus, till it get to us, sapiens. There is your proof.

Can you hear, see or feel anything? Sure... this is because something is making something happen, and most probably, there is some power at home. This power or ability to make things happen is what we can call energy. It makes things happen. It makes change possible,the change in itself is not the energy. IT IS AN EFFECT

What is it you were saying?
I know you quite well in this forum and you're always fond of not seeing the picture clearly even when explained in simple English. For example a mouse with human ear is likely to be different from human or a mouse its genes have be derived from because it has donation of genes from both parents. In gene mapping we have found out that the differences of one organism from another is very slim. Then this not what trangenic is all about. All the genes used in the process of reproducing the mouse occur naturally but there has never been a mouse with human ear before until one was engineered. Look, I have friends who are genetic engineers and they quite told me about this.

From the same wikipedia you quoted earlier "In looser usage, transgene can describe any DNA sequence, regardless of whether it contains a gene coding sequence or it has been artificially constructed, which has been introduced into an organism or vector construct in which it was previously not found."

Wikipedia LINK you quoted earlier

You don't have to literally turn from ape in the bush to the dressed up man u are today for you to believe in evolution. In not too distant past man was in the same situations of living in the bush as hunter gatherer,living in the open,eating wild and fresh like the lions,before he started thinking and thought of fire,thought of stone tools to the point that he now lives in skyscrapers and fly in the sky with objects made of his brains and hands. Things we take for granted today,but,they didn't come easy.

YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT. now you are thinking like an evolutionist ( and an atheist). I love your definition, it shows intelligence. It is true that change is not energy, but energy makes change possible. You said "It makes things happen. It makes change possible,the change in itself is not the energy.

Because energy cannot be created or destroyed,and because of what i quoted from you above, you should be able to understand that since everything came from energy, and since energy cannot be created or destroyed, then creation was a lie.

the zebra can breed with the horse.

wolf can breed with the dog
pigs can breed with a hog
the camel can breed with the llama
the grizzly with the polar bear
a leopard and a lion
a bottlenose dolphin and a false killer whale
a tiger and a lion/tiger mix
cow and buffalo
goat and sheep

the list goes on and on and on. but the questions remain, if we are this similar with apes, why can we not breed with them?

I am talking of the genetic makeup! Get the bigger picture here first and don't complicate the issue.

The reason is that there are mismatches in the chromosomes pairing. However, I am not a biologist or geneticist but it is clear that it's one of the reasons why human cannot mate with apes to produce an offspring.

YES, human can interbreed with apes to produce INFERTILE APE. BUT, experiment on humans and other apes are not performed much because of bioethics - a law that guides morality of research. People believe that it is wrong to "mix a person with an chimpanzee".

However, in borneo and sumatra, people have s.ex with orangutans (in the past). AND do you want to know the funniest part, ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, ORANGUTANS HAVE R.APED WOMEN. they were quickly taken to hospital and have the animal s.emen flushed off.
