What Kind of Yemen?
The reason for this is very simple: DNA has a very complex struc-
ture, and random effects can only harm it. The American geneticist B.
G. Ranganathan explains this as follows:
First, genuine mutations are very rare in nature. Secondly, most mutations are
harmful since they are random, rather than orderly 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. (B. G. Ranganathan, Origins?, Pennsylvania: The Banner
of Truth Trust, 1988, p. 7.)
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 actu-
ally a genetic occurrence that harms living things, and leaves them dis-
abled. (The most common effect of mutation on human beings is can-
cer.) 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 mecha-
nism exists, no such 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 the unscientific supposition of this theory, every liv-
ing 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
