               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
