which is observed to develop the genetic code, has been observed so
far. All mutations have proved to be harmful. It was understood
that mutation, 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 mechanism." Natural selection, on the other hand,
"can do nothing by itself," as Darwin also accepted. This fact shows
us that there is no "evolutionary mechanism" in nature. Since no
evolutionary mechanism exists, no such any 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."
