6.   Mutations

Mutations are the only known means by which new genetic material becomes available for possible evolution into new traits.a Rarely, if ever, is a mutation beneficial to an organism in its natural environment. Almost all observable mutations are harmful; some are meaningless; many are lethal.b No known mutation has ever produced a form of life having greater complexity and viability than its ancestors.c

Dr. John Sanford has shown that mutations occur at such a rapid rate that “mutational meltdown” would have occurred if humans were only 100,000 years old. “Genetic entropy” is pushing mankind toward extinction.d
