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 "evolution-
ary mechanism" in nature. Since no evolutionary mechanism exists, no
such 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 living
species has sprung from a predecessor. A previously existing species
turned into something else over time and all species have come into being
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,
which acquired some bird traits in addition to the reptilian traits they
already had. Since these would be in a transitional phase, they should
be disabled, defective, crippled living beings. Evolutionists refer to
these imaginary creatures, which they believe to have lived in the past,
as "transitional forms."
If such animals ever really existed, there should be millions and
even billions of them in number and variety. More importantly, the
remains of these strange creatures should be present in the fossil
record. In The Origin of Species, Darwin explained:
