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
