Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

According to natural selection, the fittest living things and those best able
to adapt to their environment survive, while the others die out. Evolution-
ists, however, maintain that natural selection evolves living things and
gives rise to new species. The fact is, however, that no such conse-
quences result from natural selection, and not a single piece of evidence
supports that claim.

ident in the name of his book: The Origin of Species, By Means of Natural Se-
lection…
Natural selection holds that those living things that are stronger and
more suited to the natural conditions of their habitats will survive in the
struggle for life. For example, in a deer herd under the threat of attack by
wild animals, those that can run faster will survive. Therefore, the deer
herd will be comprised of faster and stronger individuals. However, un-
questionably, this mechanism will not cause deer to evolve and transform
themselves into another living species, for instance, horses.
Therefore, the mechanism of natural selection has no evolutionary
power. Darwin was also aware of this fact and had to state this in his

book The Origin of Species:
Natural selection can do nothing until favourable individual differ-
ences or variations occur. 68
