any random change in a highly ordered system will be for the
worse, not for the better. For example, if an earthquake were to
shake a highly ordered structure such as a building, there would
be a random change in the framework of the building which, in all
probability, would not be an improvement. 148

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 muta-
tion, which is presented as an "evolutionary mechanism," is actually a ge-
netic 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 mecha-
nism" 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
evolution did not take place is the fossil record.
According to the unscientific supposition of 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 be-
ing 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-
