HAS STARGATE COPIED FROM STAR TREK?

I love stargate and I love star trek both are great shows and produced great stories, they had some original ideas and some it would seem not original. My question is this: did stargate steal technology and story idea from star trek?? For example: TRANSPORTERS: Star trek didn’t exactly invent them but they are there first show you think of when you think of them. Stargate didn’t use ships like star trek did they had the stargate but now they have star ships and transporters just like star trek. MULITY-UNIVERSE: Star trek tos had an episode called mirror, mirror, this was also used in next generation or sorts and also in deep space nine. (Contrary to popular belief not in voyager) now SGA & SG1 uses the idea!!! ASCENDED BEINGS: The Q-continuum could be considered to be ascended beings that had unlimited powers and living on the higher plane of existence., the used a diner to gas station and a dirt road to represent their home to voyager in and in deep space 9 the wormhole profits were similar. In stargate they have the Ancients who used a diner to represent their home to Daniel and they have powers beyond that of normal human beings. Is it me or have they stories in stargate been a reworking of some star trek episode???? Disclaimer: this is my question and the above stuff is just my explanation of what my question is about, a form of my question if you like. Yahoo Q&A’s and others seem very picky of how questions are asked, and some people get the wrong idea of a question if not asked correctly.

1. You should get the SG-1 DVD's. they have a lot of extras included. Sometimes the writers discuss episodes and many admit their love and admiration for Star Trek. but like the other answer mentioned, the concepts are all over the place in Sci Fi.
