I seriously doubt your biology degree except from a cracker jack box if you don't understand the difference between a random mutation producing a allele and an allele produced by the re-combination of divergent genomes....
Please provide the mechanism by which an allele is created in this fashion, with examples.
And let us all recall:

Please indulge me, oh Genetics master, and expand upon a conundrum I find myself in. I, gosh, just cannot comprehend this - from your Wiki link:
"For example, a
single-base mutation in the APOE (apolipoprotein E) gene is associated with a lower risk for Alzheimer's disease."
Why did your SNP wiki page mention this - that an SNP in a gene does something when you have declared that alleles are really just one letter difference that was already there?
When I clicked on the 'gene' link on your SNP wiki page, I strangely saw the following:
"Genes can acquire mutations in their sequence, leading to different variants, known as alleles, in the population"
and - oh my stars - the wiki page on "gene" has a
WHOLE SECTION dedicated to mutation! And - gulp! - it discusses them in reference to the creation of NEW ALLELES! I mean, ALLIES!
Genes can acquire mutations in their sequence, leading to different variants, known as alleles, in the population.
And - oh my, the vapors are a-comin' -
the Google takes me to a site that makes this outrageous claim:
How are new alleles created?
Occasionally, DNA mutations occur in germ cells – cells destined to become eggs or sperm. In this case, the DNA mutation is copied into every new cell of the growing embryo following fertilisation. In this way, new DNA variants are passed on to the next generation. If the mutation affects a gene, it will result in a new version of that gene – a new allele.
Please correct these lies! Tell the TRUTH that alleles are just a different letter that was already there!
Then please tell the Grants what an allele REALLY is! Won't you? Because the Grants and their wicked co-conspirators say this about alleles:
"...the [allele] introduced by hybridization has been shaped by natural selection, albeit in a differentiated genome (
deleterious mutations have been purged and any beneficial mutations gone to fixation by selection)."
And to think about this great offense - it is found in the very link you use to claim the opposite! They must be part of the conspiracy to hide the truth!
Take a break, and read up on what you clearly fail to understand in the meantime.
Yes sir, thank you sir. I will definitely take the time to understand the writings of scientists and genetics people to mean the opposite of what they actually do such that my new lernin' will conform to your great creationist intellect's desires...
*except when mutations mutate all the old genes of the 'perfect' genome into junkDNA - which other creationists claim does not even exist. I love it when YECs argue against each other without even realizing it!
