First, genuine mutations are very rare in nature. Secondly, most
mutations are harmful since they are random, rather than order-
ly changes in the structure of genes; any random change in a
highly ordered system will be for the worse, not for the better. For
example, if an earthquake were to shake a highly ordered struc-
ture such as a building, there would be a random change in the
framework of the building which, in all probability, would not be
an improvement. 9
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 harm-
ful. It was understood that mutation, which is presented as an
“evolutionary mechanism,” is actually a genetic occurrence
that harms living things, and leaves them disabled. (The most
common effect of 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 any 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 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
