[[If the researchers had actually compared the genomic DNA, very little similarity would have been discovered—in other words, they didn’t do their homework correctly. In fact, they admitted their claim that the gene was foreign—or where it originated from—was purely hypothetical, when they stated that “absolute certainty in the assignment of most HGT is unachievable.”
Third, no mechanism of HGT for any of the hundreds of alleged “foreign genes” they found was either discovered or even suggested. This is due to the fact that the only cases where such gene transfer occurs in nature typically involves a clear host-parasite relationship.]]

Hmmm, symbiotic relationships after all- parasites in other words- an organism which lives by parasitic action on it’s host-

Uhuh. Rather than seeking an educational remedy for that basic scientific ignorance, your prefered behavior is to regurgitate self-pleasing doctrine from the temple of Y.E.D.
Meanwhile - The ability to splice their genetic code into a host phenotype is one of the naturally selected behaviors that enable different species of viruses to evolve so rapidly... and demonstrative great fitness in the process!
