changes in the structure of genes; any random change in a highly or-
dered 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 improve-
ment. 26
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 actually 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 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
living 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 pro-
ceeds 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
