            MUTATIONS:  "MAGIC WANDS" OR MENANCE?
 
MUTATION: in nature, a very rare, sudden, random alteration in the DNA
code; mutations are mistakes -- accidental, random rerrangements of the
programmed code.
 
   Mutations become the new supposed "magic wand" to overcome the
barriers between the different types of plants and animals.  To put it
simply, Evolutioniists commonly thought that: "Amoeba" + MUTATIONS +
Time + Energy + Chance can equal man.  this formula reminds some
scientists of the fairy tale in which a frog turns into a prince.
Evolution says in effect, the same thing - but the process takes longer
 
MACRO-MUTATION: a theoretical and extremely large mutational change, the
sudden appearance of a major new type of structure.  No such mutation
has been scientifically observed or been proven to have ever occurred.
 
   Why do mutations occur?  One cause is radiation.  The effects of
atomic bombs and nuclear generator accidents have made people
justifiably wary of radiation.  Radiation can produce bizarre,
malforming mutations.  Even without such weapons and accidents, Earth's
inhabitants are presently exposed to rediation from the sun and the
stars, plus radiation from various Earth minerals.
 
   Scientists have used x-ray radiation to deliberately cause mutations
in African violets and fruit flies so that they could study the effects.
Fruit flies reproduce very quickly  Therefore, a single scientist can
observe the effects over a host of generations.
 
   What have scientists found?  Do mutations improve living things?
Millions of dollars in research have proved that they do not.  Most
mutated animals would easily die in nature because mutations are almost
invariabley damaging in one way or another.
 
   Random rearrangements of information always results in loss of
information.  Therefore, when mutations produce random rearrangements in
the complex information stored in DNA, the result is loss, not
improvement.
 
 
 "There is no single instance where it can be maintained that any of the
mutants studied has a higher viability than the mother species."
(p.1212)
 
  "A review of know facts about their ability to survive has led to no
other conclusion than that they are always constitutionally weaker than
their parent form or species, and in a population with free competition
they are eliminated...Therefore they are never found in nature (e.g.,
not a single one of the several hundreds of Drosophila mutations), and
therefore, they are able to appear only in the favorable environment of
the experimental field or laboratory..." (Famed Swedish Evolutionist
Heribert Nilsson of Lund University,p.1186).
