Evolutionists are at a loss for effective propaganda when it comes to recombination. Responses vary widely, and will continue to vary until dogma can be confidently established. Here's what you can expect to see:

1.) Denial - the old stand-by.
2.) Classify recombination as "mutation", as if folks can't tell the difference.
3.) Pretend it fits in just fine with evostories - bluffing is another stand-by.
4.) Downplay recombination.

The 4th one is the one my evidence primarily counters in this post.

Quote
Bacteria have no sexual reproduction in the sense that eukaryotes do. The have

* no alternation of diploid and haploid generations
* no gametes
* no meiosis

But the essence of sex is genetic recombination, and bacteria do have three mechanisms to accomplish that:

* transformation
* conjugation
* transduction


The downplay game claims the only recombination that ever takes place is when sperm and egg unite. Clearly this is false. Biologists have known better for several decades. As we see, even among single-celled bacteria there are three distinct types of recombination.

Those who like solving puzzles are invited to follow the link and read the section on "transformation". See if you spot anything that prevents the evostory, as we know it, from taking place. I intend to post "the answer" in a few days, or a week, or so. Someone please remind me if I don't.
