It is most surprising
and thought-provoking that

evolutionist scientists
should keep repeating this
circular reasoning and re-
gard natural selection as a
force with the capacity to
cause evolution. Many peo-
ple believe in the theory of
evolution without really
Despite being the person who suggested natural
selection and the theory of evolution, Darwin said, knowing what it is they be-

presses this fact:
In the meantime, the educated public continues to believe that
Darwin has provided all the relevant answers by the magic formula
of random mutations plus natural selection—quite unaware of the
fact that random mutations have turned out to be irrelevant and
natural selection a tautology. 13

S Selection As a Conscious Mechanism
It is suggested in Science and Creationism that "Although the ge-
netic variation on which natural selection works is based on random or
chance elements, natural selection itself produces "adaptive" change—
the very opposite of chance." (Science and Creationism, p. 10). The evolu-
tionist authors of the book are employing misleading expressions here.
