probability, would not be an improvement. 44
                  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 actually 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 "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 any 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 evo-

               lution did not take place is the fossil record.
                  According to this theory, every living species has sprung from a prede-
               cessor. A previously existing species turned into something else over time
               and all species have come into being in this way. In other words, this trans-
               formation 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."
                  If such animals ever really existed, there should be millions and even
               billions of them in number and variety. More importantly, the remains of
