be regarded as a genetic gift. This is no more meaningless than
evolutionists' interpretations of sickle cell anemia as a beneficial
mutation.
David N. Menton, a professor of biology from Brown
University, describes this so-called beneficial mutation as fol-

This mutation of
blood hemoglobin is
considered "good"
because people who
have it (and survive
it!) are more resis-

malaria. The symp-

Evolutionists regard sickle
cell anemia as a beneficial
mutation. Their viewing an
obviously harmful genetic
disease as a proof of evolu-
