                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".
