Imaginary Mechanism of Evolution

The second important point that negates Darwin's theory is
that both concepts put forward by the theory as "evolutionary

mechanisms" were understood to have, in reality, no evolutionary
power.
Darwin based his evolution allegation entirely on the mecha-
nism of "natural selection." The importance he placed on this
mechanism was evident in the name of his book: The Origin of

Species, By Means of Natural Selection…
Natural selection holds that those living things that are
stronger and more suited to the natural conditions of their habitats
will survive in the struggle for life. For example, in a deer herd
under the threat of attack by wild animals, those that can run faster
will survive. Therefore, the deer herd will be comprised of faster

and stronger individuals. However, unquestionably, this mecha-
nism will not cause deer to evolve and transform themselves into
another living species, for instance, horses.
Therefore, the mechanism of natural selection has no evolutionary
power. Darwin was also aware of this fact and had to state this in his

book The Origin of Species:
Natural selection can do nothing until favourable individual differ-
ences or variations occur. (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species by
Means of Natural Selection, The Modern Library, New York, p. 127)

Lamarck's Impact

So, how could these "favorable variations" occur? Darwin
tried to answer this question from the standpoint of the primitive

understanding of science at that time. According to the French
biologist Chevalier de Lamarck (1744-1829), who lived before Dar-
