f form rational, compatible, symmetrical organs at the same time.
Mutations can be likened to shooting at an intact structure with a
machine gun. Shooting at an intact object will completely ruin its struc-
ture. One of the bullets proving ineffective, or curing a pre-existing in-
fection in the body by cauterizing it, does not change the result. The or-
ganism would already be ruined by the remaining 99 bullets that hit it.
Lynn Margulis, a member of the US National Academy of Sciences,
has made the following confession regarding the evident harmful effects
of mutations:
New mutations don’t create new species; they create offspring that are im-
paired. (Lynn Margulis, quoted in Darry Madden, UMass Scientist to Lead
Debate on Evolutionary Theory, Brattleboro (Vt.) Reformer, February 3,
2006)

Also in an interview in 2011, Margulis emphasized the fact that
“there is no evidence” indicating that mutations modify organisms and
thus give rise to new species:
[N]eo-Darwinists say that new species emerge when mutations occur and
modify an organism. I was taught over and over again that the accumulation
of random mutations led to evolutionary change-led to new species. I believed
it until I looked for evidence. (Lynn Margulis quoted in “Lynn Margulis: Q
+ A,” Discover Magazine, April 2011, p. 68)
As Margulis stated, there is not a single evidence showing that ran-
dom mutations lead to evolutionary changes, which in turn lead to the
emergence of new species.
Indeed, no beneficial mutation – one that would advance the genet-
ic code – has ever been observed. All mutations have proved to be harm-
ful. It is now understood that mutation, which is presented as an “evo-
lutionary mechanism”, 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 there is no
