harms living things, and leaves them disabled. (The most com-
mon effect of mutation on human beings is cancer.) Of course, a
destructive mechanism cannot be an "evolutionary mechanism".
Natural selection, on the other hand, "can do nothing by itself", as
Darwin also accepted. This fact shows us that there is no "evolution-
ary mechanism" in nature. Since there is no evolutionary mecha-
nism, no such imaginary process called "evolution" can take place.
The Fossil Record: No Sign of Intermediate Forms
The fossil records constitute the clearest evidence showing us
that the scenario suggested by the theory of evolution did not take
place.
According to the unscientific supposition behind this theory,
every living species has sprung from a predecessor. A previously
existing species (evolutionists have yet to offer an explanation on
how this species came into existence) turned into something else
over time and all species have come into being in this way. In other
words, this imaginary transformation took millions of years and pro-
ceeded gradually.
If this were the case, innumerable intermediary species should
have existed and lived within this long transformation period.
For instance, some half-fish/half-reptiles would have lived in
the past, which had acquired some reptilian traits in addition to the
fish traits they already had. Or there should have existed some rep-
tile-birds, which acquired some bird traits in addition to the reptilian
traits they already had. Since these would be in a transitional phase,
they should be disabled, defective, crippled beings. Evolutionists
refer to these imaginary creatures, which they believe to have lived
in the past, as "transitional forms".
