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 understo-
od that mutation, which is presented as an "evolutionary mecha-
nism," is actually a genetic occurrence that harms living things,
and leaves them disabled. (The most common effect of mutation
on human beings 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 ima-
ginary process called "evolution" could have taken place.

The Fossil Record:
No Sign of Intermediate Forms
The clearest evidence that the scenario suggested by the the-
ory of evolution did not take place is the fossil record.
According to the unscientific supposition of this theory,
every living species has sprung from a predecessor. A previ-
ously 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 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
