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 no evolutionary mechanism exists,
no such 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
proceeds 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 fish traits they already had. Or there should have existed some
reptile-birds, which acquired some bird traits in addition to the
reptilian traits they already had. Since these would be in a
transitional phase, they should be disabled, defective, crippled
living beings. Evolutionists refer to these imaginary creatures,
which they believe to have lived in the past, as "transitional

forms."
If such animals ever really existed, there should be millions
and even billions of them in number and variety. More
