IMAGINARY MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION

he neo-Darwinist model, which we shall take as the "mainstream" theory of evolu-
T tion today, argues that life has evolved through two naturalistic mechanisms: "nat-
ural selection" and "mutation". The basic assertion of the theory is as follows: Natural
selection and mutation are two complementary mechanisms. The origin of evolutionary
modifications is random mutations that take place in the genetic structure of living
things. The traits brought about by the mutations are selected by the mechanism of nat-
ural selection and therefore the living things evolve.
When we further probe into this theory, we find that there is no such evolutionary
mechanism at all, because neither natural selection nor mutations make any contribution
to the claim that different species have evolved and transformed into one another.

Natural Selection
As process of nature, natural selection was familiar to biologists before Darwin, who
defined it as a "mechanism that keeps species unchanging without being corrupted".
Darwin was the first person to put forward the assertion that this process had evolution-
ary power and he then erected his entire theory on the foundation of this assertion. The
name he gave to his book indicates that natural selection was the basis of Darwin's theo-
ry: The Origin of Species, by means of Natural Selection...
However since Darwin's time, there has not been a single shred of evidence put for-
ward to show that natural selection causes living beings to evolve. Colin Patterson, the
senior paleontologist of the Museum of Natural History in England, who is also a promi-
nent evolutionist by the way, stresses that natural selection has never been observed to
have the power to cause things to evolve:
No one has ever produced a species by mechanisms of natural selection. No one
has ever got near it and most of the current argument in neo-Darwinism is about this
question. 5
Natural selection holds that those living things that are more suited to the natural
conditions of their habitats will prevail by having offspring that will survive, whereas
those that are unfit will disappear. For example, in a deer herd under the threat of wild
animals, naturally those that can run faster will survive. That is true. But no matter how
long this process goes on, it will not transform those deer into another living species. The
deer will always remain deer.
When we look at the few incidents the evolutionists have put forth as observed exam-
ples of natural selection, we see that these are nothing but a simple attempt to hoodwink.
