Where are the presumed millions of years supposed to fit in this timeline? Articles such as the one listed above present eons-long fossil fuel formation as undisputed fact. But both science and the Bible indicate that oil and gas were not millions of years in the making, but are only thousands of years old.
Gene splicing first came to worldwide attention in 1973 with the creation of the first genetically engineered organism. Definition of Gene Splicing Gene splicing is the procedure where pieces of DNA are cut up and spliced together to form recombinant DNA. The DNA fragments usually come from different organisms. The DNA molecules are not cut by a physical pair of scissors; the process is enzymatic with the target DNA being chemically cut by restriction enzymes.
The gene responsible for HGPS is called LMNA (pronounced âlamin-aâ). One tiny spelling mistake in the DNA sequenceof LMNA is responsible for Progeria. This type of gene change is called apoint mutation. The LMNA gene normally makes a protein called lamin A,which is an important protein for most cells of our bodies. Lamin A is foundin the cell nucleus (the part of each cell that contains the DNA) and helpsmaintain the shape and function of the cell. In Progeria, the LMNA mutation causes the gene to produce an abnormalLamin A protein called progerin. In children with Progeria, many cells in thebody â such as the blood vessels, skin, and bones â make progerin protein.As the children age, progerin builds up in these cells causing progressivedisease.
