JUSTICE AND COMPASSION IN THE QUR'AN

(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
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."
