Darwin also gave similar examples. In his book The Origin
of Species, for instance, he said that some bears going into water
to find food transformed themselves into whales over time. (Charles
Darwin, The Origin of Species: A Facsimile of the First Edition, Harvard
University Press, 1964, p. 184)

However, the laws of inheritance discovered by Gregor Mendel
(1822-84) and verified by the science of genetics, which flourished in

the twentieth century, utterly demolished the legend that acquired
traits were passed on to subsequent generations. Thus, natural selec-
tion was left 'alone' and consequently rendered completely ineffec-
tive as an evolutionary mechanism.

Neo-Darwinism and Mutations

In order to find a solution, Darwinists advanced the "Modern

Synthetic Theory," or as it is more commonly known, Neo-Darwin-
ism, at the end of the 1930s. Neo-Darwinism added mutations, which
are distortions formed in the genes of living beings due to such exter-
nal factors as radiation or replication errors, as the "cause of favor-
able variations" in addition to natural selection.

Today, the model that Darwinists espouse, despite their own
awareness of its scientific invalidity, is Neo-Darwinism. The theory

maintains that millions of living species were formed through a
process whereby numerous complex organs of these organisms (e.g.,
ears, eyes, lungs, and wings) underwent "mutations", that is, genetic
disorders. Yet, there is an outright scientific fact that totally under-
mines this theory: Mutations do not cause living beings to develop;
on the contrary, they are always harmful. The horrific images that

appeared after the nuclear explosions in Chernobyl, Hiroshima and
Nagasaki are the exact results brought about by mutations. The
