Imaginary Mechanism of Evolution

The second important point that negates Darwin's theory is
that both concepts put forward by the theory as "evolutionary
mechanisms" were understood to have, in reality, no evolu-
tionary power.

Darwin based his evolution allegation entirely on the mech-
anism of "natural selection." The importance he placed on this
mechanism was evident in the name of his book: The Origin of
Species, By Means of Natural Selection…
Natural selection holds that those living things that are
stronger and more suited to the natural conditions of their
habitats will survive in the struggle for life. For example, in a
deer herd under the threat of attack by wild animals, those that
can run faster will survive. Therefore, the deer herd will be

comprised of faster and stronger individuals. However, un-
questionably, this mechanism will not cause deer to evolve and
transform themselves into another living species, for instance,
horses.
Therefore, the mechanism of natural
selection has no evolutionary power.

Lamarck be lieved that gi raffes evolved from such
an i mals as an te lopes. In his view, the necks of
these grass-eat ing an i mals grad u al ly grew longer,
and they even tu al ly turned in to gi raffes. The laws
of in her it ance dis cov ered by Mendel in 1865
proved that it was im pos si ble for prop er ties ac -
quired dur ing life to be hand ed on to sub se quent
gen er a tions. Lamarck's gi raffe fairy tale was thus
con signed to the waste bin of his to ry.
