Since the beginning of the cen-
tury, evolutionists have been
trying to produce mutations in
fruit flies, and give this as an
example for useful mutation.
However, the only result ob-
tained at the end of these ef-
forts that lasted for decades
were disfigured, diseased, and
defective flies.

replication errors, as the "cause of favorable variations" in addition to
natural mutation.
Today, the model that Darwinists espouse, despite their own
awareness of its scientific invalidity, is neo-Darwinism. The theory main-
tains that millions of living beings formed as a result of a process
whereby numerous complex organs of these organisms (e.g., ears, eyes,
lungs, and wings) underwent "mutations," that is, genetic disorders. Yet,
there is an outright scientific fact that totally undermines this theory:
Mutations do not cause living beings to develop; on the contrary, they
are always harmful.
The reason for this is very simple: DNA has a very complex struc-
ture, and random effects can only harm it. The American geneticist B. G.
Ranganathan explains this as follows:
First, genuine mutations are very rare in nature. Secondly, most muta-
tions are harmful since they are random, rather than orderly changes in
