According to natural selection, the fittest living things and those best able to
adapt to their environment survive, while the others die out. Evolutionists,
however, maintain that natural selection evolves living things and gives rise to
new species. The fact is, however, that no such consequences result from
natural selection, and not a single piece of evidence supports that claim.
Imaginary Mechanism of Evolution
The second important point that negates Darwin's theory is that both
concepts put forward by the theory as "evolutionary mechanisms" were
understood to have, in reality, no evolutionary power.
Darwin based his evolution allegation entirely on the mechanism of
"natural selection." The importance he placed on this mechanism was evident
in the name of his book: The Origin of Species, By Means of Natural Selection…
Natural selection holds that those living things that are stronger and
more suited to the natural conditions of their habitats will survive in the
struggle for life. For example, in a deer herd under the threat of attack by wild
animals, those that can run faster will survive. Therefore, the deer herd will
be comprised of faster and stronger individuals. However, unquestionably,
this mechanism will not cause deer to evolve and transform themselves into
another living species, for instance, horses.
Therefore, the mechanism of natural selection has no evolutionary
power. Darwin was also aware of this fact and had to state this in his book
The Origin of Species:
