FAITH: THE WAY TO HAPPINESS

                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 ran
                                                                              -
                                                                             ,
                dom change in the framework of the building which, in all pro b a b i l i t y
                would not be an improvement.

                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 ac-
            tually 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 pro c e s s
            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
            p re d e c e s s o r. A p reviously 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
