disabled. (The most common effect of mutation on human beings is
                  cancer.) Of course, a destructive mechanism cannot be an "evolution-
                  ary mechanism." Natural selection, on the other hand, "can do noth-
                  ing 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 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
         THE MICROWORLD MIRACLE  Evolutionists refer to these imaginary creatures, which they believe to
                  traits they already had. Since these would be in a transitional phase,
                  they should be disabled, defective, crippled living beings.


                  have lived in the past, as "transitional forms."
                       If such animals ever really existed, there should be millions and
                  even billions of them in number and variety. More importantly, the
