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
