PASSIVITY IN RELIGION

First, genuine mutations are very rare in nature. Secondly, most
mutations are harmful since they are random, rather than or-
derly changes in the structure of genes; any random change in a
highly ordered system will be for the worse, not for the better.
For example, if an earthquake were to shake a highly ordered
structure such as a building, there would be a random change in
the framework of the building which, in all probability, would
not be an improvement. 9

Not surprisingly, no mutation example, which is useful, that is,
which is observed to develop the genetic code, has been observed
so far. All mutations have proved to be harmful. It was understood
that mutation, which is presented as an "evolutionary mechanism,"
is actually a genetic occurrence that harms living things, and leaves
them disabled. (The most common effect of mutation on human be-
ings is cancer.) Of course, 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, 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. Apreviously 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.
