of living things due to such external influences as radiation.
The scientists gathered at the Geological Society of America
gave the answer, “Random mutations,” to the question, “What is the
origin of the beneficial changes that develop in living things?”—
which question Darwin had attempted to answer on the basis of
Lamarck.
The point that these evolutionist scientists either ignored or
preferred to ignore was this: It is true that mutations alter organ-
isms’ genetic information, but this change was always a negative
one. Mutations do not develop new organs or structures, as evolu-
tionists claim, but typically harm pre-existing tissues. There was no
evidence of any benefit produced by a mutation, for which reason
all the speculation on mutations’ evolutionary or developmental effect
was false. Mutations are usually harmful, and occasionally only
neutral events, and this fact by itself is sufficient to invalidate the fic-
titious mechanisms of evolution as a whole.
However, this fact did not stop neo-Darwinists. They proposed
a scenario in which life developed into the extraordinary complexi-
ty we see and know today, and assumed its present perfect appear-
ance by way of random mutations, that were generally beneficial,
and all from an original single cell. They hid behind this explana-
tion, saying that Cambrian life forms, which they had for long been
unable to account for and which totally demolished the theory of ev-
olution, had developed by undergoing an infinite number of muta-
tions.
First of all, the lengths of time regarded as necessary for the
mechanisms employed by the neo-Darwinists to account for the or-
igin of species are very long. Neo-Darwinism maintains that small
changes have accumulated in the gene sequences of organisms as
the result of random mutations, and that after generations, these ac-
cumulated changes eventually led to entirely new species. But as
