there would be a random change in the framework of the building
which, in all probability, would not be an improvement. 38
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 things, and leaves them
disabled. (The most common effect of mutation on human beings is
cancer.) Of course, a destructive mechanism cannot be an "evolu-
tionary 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 evolution-
ary mechanism exists, no such any imaginary process called "evolu-

tion" 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 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 rep-
tile-birds, which acquired some bird traits in addition to the reptil-

ian 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."
