Dr. James Shapiro is shown to be correct once more.

Not that I doubt you, but does this somehow disprove evolution, other than to clarify a mechanism?

So you are saying this mechanism could not possibly have evolved?

But the real question is where did DNA come from?

" transposons can cause favourable changes for the adaptation and survival of the organism. "Amazing. Who thought that up?

You forgot the First Law of Creationism:
Everything is proof that evolution is wrong.
To: rottndog
where did DNA come from Don't know if this is a popular idea, but is it possible a virus could introduce new sequences? The new sequences wouldn't have to be functional, and it appears that most DNA is nonfunctional.

The participants in the research project are Marta Puig, from the Department of Genetics and Microbiology from the UAB
I remember this name from my thesis research, though I was working with a Drosophila neural cell adhesion molecule.

ok, ill bite. the DNA is introduced by a virus. where did the RNA come from for the virus then?
as for DNA being "mostly nonfunctional" how would that correlate with animals that are missing a single gene becoming different in appearance, and structure? they are still said "animal" but with something wrong. that something wrong becomes visable or chemical, but it does show.
just an honest question, though the idea of a virus introducing DNA does intrigue me. any sources?
To: MacDorcha
No, I don't have any sources besides a couple of epidemologist overheard in the lunchroom. Where the RNA comes from is lost in murky beginnings--conditions may have changed so it isn't happening anymore [following Frere Teilhard's speculations].

just come out and say it. we cant recreate it.
evolution is perfectly acceptable, but intellegent design set it into motion. is that really that controversial to some?
