The theory of evolution maintains that those living or-
ganisms that best adapt to their environment have
more opportunities to survive and multiply, and there-
fore, they can pass on their advantageous characteris-
tics to subsequent generations, and species evolve by
way of this “mechanism.”
But the fact is that the mechanism in question—known
as natural selection—cannot cause living things to
evolve, nor endow them with any new features. It can
only reinforce existing characteristics belonging to a
particular species.
In any given region, for example, those rabbits able to
run fastest will survive, while others die. After a few
generations, all the rabbits in this region will consist
of fast-running individuals. However, these rabbits
can never evolve into another species—greyhounds or
foxes, for instance.
The youngster being attacked
by the cheetah will in all
likelihood be unable to escape.
Because the cheetah is more
agile, powerful and
experienced than he is.
Evolutionists want to have
people believe that this
phenomenon, familiar to
everyone, is an “evolutionary
mechanism.” Yet it is clear that
no matter how much time
goes by, this youngster will
never turn into any other
living organism.
