The Defence System Cannot Have Been Formed By Evolution

cannot be produced gradually it would have to arise as an integrated unit,
at one fell swoop, for natural selection to have anything to react on. 12
The founder of the theory of evolution, Charles Darwin, as well as
many contemporary scientists, have confessed that the supposed mecha-
nism of natural selection has no evolutionary power.

Charles Darwin states:
These difficulties and objections may be classed under the following heads:...
Can we believe that natural selection could produce, on the one hand, an or-
gan of trifling importance, such as the tail of a giraffe, which serves as a fly-
flapper, and on the other hand, an organ so wonderful as the eye? 13
One of the leading evolutionists of our day, professor of geology and
paleoanthropology Dr Stephan Jay Gould states that natural selection can

possess no evolutionary power:
But how do you get from nothing to such an elaborate something if evolu-
tion must proceed through a long sequence of intermediate stages, each fa-
vored by natural selection? You can't fly with 2 percent of a wing or gain
much protection from an iota's similarity with a potentially concealing
piece of vegetation. How, in other words, can natural selection explain these

incipient stages of structures that can only be used (as we now observe
them) in much more elaborated form? Mivart identified this problem as pri-
mary and it remains so today. 14
Can the existence of such a complex system be explained, as suggest-
ed by Neo-Darwinists, in terms of "mutations"? Is it really possible for
such an excellent system to form as a result of successive mutations?
As we know, mutations are decompositions and damage taking
place in the genetic codes of living beings as a result of various external
factors. All mutations damage the genetic information programmed in the

DNA of a living being, without adding any new genetic information to it.
Therefore, mutations do not possess any developmental or evolutionary
faculty. Today, many evolutionists accept this reality, though reluctantly.
One of these evolutionists, John Endler, a geneticist from the Univer-
