| modern man is still capable of some | | | | need to dig into the past to see the contrived |
| embarrassingly primitive thinking. I'm talking about | | | | fallacies supporting the evolutionary powers of |
| the "scientific" theory of evolution. If this theory is | | | | random mutation. The answer is right in front of |
| not honest misinterpretation, it may very well be | | | | us. Random mutations result in quite the opposite |
| the most sophisticated hoax ever perpetrated on | | | | of what we've been led to believe. They result in |
| the human race.The scientific concept of the origin | | | | nothing but illness and fatalities--not improvements. |

| first appeared billions of years ago with the | | | | the occurrences of these mutations, the greater |

| more complex forms of life, and one species | | | | annihilation!When you take what we know as fact |

| such a scenario even possible? Well, according to | | | | story of evolution, you come up with a picture |
| what we know today about genetics, the answer | | | | which more and more resembles a horrible scene |
| is an unequivocal no.Probably the strongest thing | | | | out of a "post-nuke" movie:Even if earth had |
| going for evolution at the time of its inception, | | | | already been as populated in that alleged period of |
| over a hundred years ago, was that virtually | | | | three and a half billion years ago as it is today, |
| nothing was known about genetics in that era. I | | | | and had since been affected by billions and billions |
| am convinced that if the public had had a decent | | | | of random mutations, according to what we |
| understanding of genetics, and random mutation in | | | | know today about random mutation, by now life |

| of evolution, the theory could never have been | | | | With random mutation being the highly destructive |
| taken seriously and certainly could never have | | | | force that it apparently is, the process which was |
| been accepted as legitimate science.According to | | | | supposed to have caused life to evolve is |
| evolutionists, random mutation is purportedly what | | | | precisely what would have caused, in all probability, |
| brought life from the one celled stage to its | | | | such genetic havoc that few organisms would |

| But here's how genetics--the most crucial aspect | | | | genetic diseases to their offspring. Even if the "fit" |

| Carcinogenic chemicals. Cosmic rays. Sources of | | | | after billions and billions of years of random |

| Exposure of high doses of radiation to limited | | | | overwhelmed by the staggeringly high number of |
| parts of the body can cause severe tissue | | | | diseased genes necessary to produce just a few |
