As we have seen, mutations are harmful to living things and no
example of a beneficial mutation has ever been observed. The exam-
ples put forward by evolutionists as "beneficial mutations" all actu-
ally consist of distortions. In none of these examples have the benefits
necessary for the evolution of an organism—that is, an increase in ge-
netic information—ever come about. Let us now examine why the in-
stances of "beneficial mutations" put forward by evolutionists are not
actually useful at all, and cannot lead to evolution.
Sickle-cell anemia:
Sickle-cell anemia stems from an inherited fault in the code neces-
sary for the production of the hemoglobin
The unhealthy appear-
molecule, which helps carry oxygen in ance of a damaged
blood cell
the blood. As a result of this fault, the
Sickle-cell anemia is a serious disease stemming from an error in the gene that
encodes the molecule hemoglobin, which is responsible for carrying oxygen in
the blood—in other words, from a mutation.
