evident in the name of his book: The Origin of Species, By Means of
Natural Selection…
Natural selection holds that those living things that are stronger
and more suited to the natural conditions of their habitats will survive in
the struggle for life. For example, in a deer herd under the threat of at-
tack by wild animals, those that can run faster will survive. Therefore,
the deer herd will be comprised of faster and stronger individuals.
However, unquestionably, this mechanism will not cause deer to evolve
and transform themselves into another living species, for instance,
horses.
Therefore, the mechanism of natural selection has no evolution-

According to natural selection, the strong and those able to adapt to
their surroundings survive, while the rest disappear. Evolutionists pro-
pose that natural selection causes living things to evolve and results in
new species. However, natural selection has no such effect and there is
not a single evidence supporting the claim that it does.
