The neo-Darwinist model, which we shall take as the mainstream theory
of evolution today, argues that life has evolved through two natural
mechanisms: "natural selection" and "mutation". The theory basically
asserts that natural selection and mutation are two complementary
mechanisms. The origin of evolutionary modifications lies in random
mutations that take place in the genetic structures of living things.
The traits brought about by mutations are selected by the mechanism of
natural selection, and by this means living things evolve.
When we look further into this theory, we find that there is no such
evolutionary mechanism. Neither natural selection nor mutations make
any contribution at all to the transformation of different species
into one another, and the claim that they do is completely unfounded.
Natural Selection

...and others. But most scientific illiterates aren't aware
that other mechanisms exist.
