EVOLUTIONISTS’ CONFESSIONS
STATING THAT NATURAL SELECTION
HAS NO EVOLUTIONARY POWER
T he theory of evolution suggests that living things imaginarily
T
evolved by means of two fundamental mechanisms: natural se-
lection and mutation. Evolutionists maintain that the character-
istics brought about by mutations in living things are then chosen by the
mechanism of natural selection and thus living things are supposedly
transformed into another species. Close inspection, however, shows that
neither mechanism has any evolutionary force at all, not giving the slight-
est support to the idea that living things evolve and gradually turn into
new species.
Charles Darwin, founder of the theory of evolution, first claimed that
natural selection was an evolutionary force. The title he gave to his book
emphasizes that natural selection represented the basis of his theory: The
Origin of Species, by Means of Natural Selection...
Natural selection predicts the survival of living things possessing the
most appropriate characteristics for the conditions prevailing in the nat-
ural locations they inhabit, and the extinction of those individuals that
lack these advantages. For example, in a herd of deer threatened by
wolves, those deer able to run the fastest will naturally survive. The oth-
ers will be hunted down and eliminated. The result will be a remaining
herd of swift-running deer.
Yet the one important point is that no matter how long this process
continues, it will never transform deer into any other species. A deer can-
