94 PARADISE

Not surprisingly, no mutation example, which is useful,
that is, which is observed to develop the genetic code, has

been observed so far. All mutations have proved to be harm-
ful. It was understood that mutation, which is presented as an
"evolutionary mechanism," is actually a genetic occurrence
that harms living things, and leaves them disabled. (The most
common 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 "evolutionary mechanism" in nature. Since no
evolutionary mechanism exists, no such any imaginary process
called "evolution" could have taken place.

The Fossil Record: No Sign of

Intermediate Forms

The clearest evidence that the scenario suggested by the
theory of evolution did not take place is the fossil record.
According to this theory, every living species has sprung
from a predecessor. A previously existing species turned into
something else over time and all species have come into being
in this way. In other words, this transformation proceeds
gradually over millions of years.
Had this been the case, numerous intermediary species
should have existed and lived within this long transformation
period.
For instance, some half-fish/half-reptiles should have lived
