               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 ac-
              tually a genetic occurrence that harms living beings, and leaves them
              disabled. (The most common effect of mutation on human beings is
              cancer). No doubt, a destructive mechanism cannot be an "evolution-
              ary mechanism." Natural selection, on the other hand, "can do noth-
              ing by itself" as Darwin also accepted. This fact shows us that there is
              no "evolutionary mechanism" in nature. Since no evolutionary mech-
              anism exists, neither could any imaginary process called evolution
              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 theory of evolution, every living species has
              sprung from a predecessor. A previously existing species turned into
              something else in time and all species have come into being in this
              way. According to the theory, this transformation proceeds gradually
              over millions of years.
               Had this been the case, then 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 had really existed, there should be millions and
