Mutations
 Mutations
are genetic accidents that occur in living things.
Like all accidents, they cause harm and destruction.
"Evolution" through mutation is as unlikely
as the improvement of a clock by a hammer blow.
Realizing that natural selection
has no evolutionary function, evolutionists introduced
the concept of "mutation" to their claim
in the 20th century. Mutations are distortions
taking place in the genes of organisms through
external effects such as radiation. Evolutionists
claim that these distortions cause organisms to
evolve.

EFFECTS OF CHERNOBYL
The main cause of mutation in humans
is radioactivity. The effects of mutations
are always detrimental. Those who were
exposed to mutation because of the disaster
in Chernobyl either suffered from fatal
cancers or were born with crippled organs
as seen in the pictures.

MUTATION TWINS
The disorder resulting in "Siamese
twins" in humans is caused by mutations.
These twin frogs which were conjoined
at birth give us an idea of the results
of mutation.

Scientific findings, however,
reject this claim, because all observable efficient
mutations cause only harm to living things. All
mutations that take place in humans result in
mental or physical deformities such as mongolism
(Down's syndrome), albinism, dwarfism, or diseases
such as cancer.
Another reason why it is impossible
for mutations to cause living things to evolve
is that mutations do not add any new genetic information
to an organism. Mutations cause existing genetic
information to be randomly reshuffled similar
to playing cards. In other words, no new genetic
information is introduced by mutations.

FRUIT FLY EXPERIMENTS
For decades, evolutionists carried
out mutation experiments on fruit flies
because they reproduce very rapidly
and can be easily mutated. These creatures
were mutated millions of times in all
possible ways. However, not even one
beneficial mutation has been observed.

Evolutionary theory, however,
asserts that the genetic information of living
things increases over time. For instance, while
a very simply structured bacterium comprises of
2,000 different types of proteins, a human's organism
has 100,000 types of proteins. Exactly 98,000
new proteins have to be "discovered"
for a bacterium to evolve into a human being.
It is by no means possible for these protein structures
to be produced by mutations, because mutations
cannot add anything to a DNA chain.

THE DISTORTION OF
DNA
The code in
DNA determines the physical traits of
living things. If a displacement or relocation
occurs in this code, because of an external
effect like radiation, the organism mutates.

Not surprisingly, so far, not
even a single mutation has been observed to develop
the genetic information of any life form. Despite
being an evolutionist himself, the Former President
of the French Academy of Sciences, Pierre-Paul
Grassé, made the following admission: "No
matter how numerous they may be, mutations do
not produce any kind of evolution."18
