                 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 probabil-

                 ity, would not be an improvement. 9
                 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
            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 mecha-
            nism." 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
            evolution did not take place is the fossil record.

                 According to the unscientific supposition of this theory, every liv-
            ing 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 reptile-birds,
