              beings is cancer). No doubt, 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, neither could any imaginary process called evolution
              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 the theory of evolution, every living species
              has sprung from a predecessor. A previously existing species
              turned into something else in time and all species have come
              into being in this way.  According to the theory, this
              transformation proceeds gradually over millions of years.
                  Had this been the case, then 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 reptile-birds, which acquired some bird
              traits in addition to the reptilian traits they already had. Since
              these would be in a transitional phase, they should be
              disabled, defective, crippled living beings. Evolutionists refer
              to these imaginary creatures, which they believe to have
              lived in the past, as "transitional forms."
                  If such animals had really existed, there should be
