THE TRANSITIONAL-FORM DILEMMA

have perfect structures, with no appearance of being half-formed or in-
complete. These skulls did not come into existence by chance mutations
or retain features of any transition from one species to another, just like
those of present-day living things. If the theory of evolution were true,
then there should be fossils with the kinds of lopsided, shapeless and
deformed skulls shown on the preceding page. Yet there is no trace of
such fossils in any strata, anywhere in the world. This definitively dis-
proves the theory of evolution’s claims.
For a clearer idea of how many odd structures and peculiar transi-
tional forms the fossil record should contain, we need to focus on the
evolutionist concept of coincidence. According to the theory, transi-
tional forms come into existence quite unconsciously, entirely by
chance. For instance, a random mutation affects the genetic structure of
a creature, and a number of changes take place in its body structure.
However, this mutation does not alter the living thing’s genetic struc-
ture entirely. For instance, while its hind legs are affected, its skull may
remain the same. Whichever genes the mutation may impact on, there
will be a change only in the structure or organs controlled by those par-
ticular genes. This is a piecemeal fantasy that can never actually come
about.
As we know, all the features possessed by living things are con-
cealed inside their DNA, which is analogous to an enclyclopedic data
bank consisting of billions of units, or letters. Random mutations which
affect those letters cannot make that information more useful because
these mutations are devoid of conscious intent. For that reason, muta-
tions will always corrupt data, not improve it.
Mutations that arise unconsciously cannot form a new, flawless
structure. They always give rise to deformed, lopsided and deficient
ones. Human hands, according to the theory of evolution, are the work
of random mutations—which actually cannot give rise to hands that are
aesthetically pleasing, functional, able to sculpt statues, grasp, and feel.
Until they reach the most ideal level (something which mutations
