die within a short time.
The second point of the argument is the process of
"Natural Selection". As we will explain in more detail in
the chapter, "The Deception Of Evolution", the process
of "Natural Selection" refers to the transfer of advanta-
geous qualities to subsequent generations.
There is a consensus among scientists that the con-
cept of such a mechanism is far from being satisfactory
in explaining complex systems. The renowned Ameri-
can specialist in biochemistry, Michael J. Behe, made the
following statements with relation to natural selection
in his book, Darwin's Black Box:
An irreducibly complex biological system, if there is
such a thing, would be a powerful challenge to Darwin-
ian evolution. Since natural selection can only choose
systems that are already working, then if a biological
system cannot be produced gradually it would have to
arise as an integrated unit, at one fell swoop, for natu-
ral 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 mechanism of natural se-
lection 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 organ 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
