In other words, the scientific explanations relevant to the
mutation are completely ignored, because if these details are
examined, it will appear that they are merely unscientific su-
perstitions.
The evolutionists' just-so stories suppose that mutations
will appear to supply whatever an organism needs and to en-
sure whatever advantages would suit it best.

Moreover, no mutation has been observed so far that de-
velops genetic data.
To believe in this scenario is like believing in a magic
wand that supplies a creature's every need. It is superstition.
Even though the French zoologist Pierre-Paul Grassé
theoretically accepts evolution, he is aware of the reality of
the situation and has come out strongly against Darwinism in
describing its strange belief about mutations:
The opportune appearance of mutations permitting animals
and plants to meet their needs seems hard to believe. Yet the
Darwinian theory is even more demanding. A single plant, a
single animal would require thousands and thousands of . . .
appropriate events. Thus, miracles would become the rule:
events with an infinitesimal probability could not fail to occur.
. . There is no law against daydreaming, but science must not
indulge in it. 119
In short, Darwinism is a figment of the imagination with
nothing to do with science. And the just-so stories presented
as scientific fact have not the slightest scientific support.
All these myths have in common the supposition that liv-
ing things' special needs are first determined and then sup-
plied by mutations. Evolutionists call this need "evolutionary
