Mutations




                                           Mutations are genetic accidents that occur in living
                                           things. Like all accidents, they cause harm and

                                           destruction. "Evolution" through mutation is as
                                           unlikely as the improvement of a clock by a hammer
                                           blow.




                             ealizing that natural selection has no evolutionary function,
                             evolutionists introduced the concept of "mutation" to their
                     R claim in the 20th century. Mutations are distortions taking
                     place in the genes of organisms through external effects such as
                     radiation. Evolutionists claim that these distortions cause organisms to
                     evolve.
                     Scientific findings, however, reject this claim, because all observable
                     efficient mutations cause only harm to living things. All mutations that take
                     place in humans result in mental or physical deformities such as mongolism
                     (Down's syndrome), albinism, dwarfism, or diseases such as cancer.
                     Another reason why it is impossible for mutations to cause living things to evolve
                     is that mutations do not add any new genetic information to an organism. Mutations
                     cause existing genetic information to be randomly reshuffled similar to playing cards. In other
                        words, no new genetic information is introduced by mutations.
                         Evolutionary theory, however, asserts that the genetic information of living things increases
                          over time. For instance, while a very simply structured bacterium comprises of 2,000
                           different types of proteins, a human's organism has 100,000 types of proteins. Exactly
                           98,000 new proteins have to be "discovered" for a bacterium to evolve into a human being.

                                                    CHERNOBYL
                                                    The main cause of
                                                    mutation in humans is
                                                    radioactivity. The effects of
                                                    mutations are always
                                                    detrimental. Those who
                                                    were exposed to mutation
                                                    because of the disaster in
                                                    Chernobyl either suffered
                                                    from fatal cancers or were
                                                    born with crippled organs
                                                    as seen in the pictures.
