ings 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
the structure of genes; any random change in a highly ordered system will
be for the worse, not for the better. For example, if an earthquake were to
shake a highly ordered structure such as a building, there would be a ran-
dom change in the framework of the building which, in all probability,
would not be an improvement. 9
Not surprisingly, no mutation example, which is useful, that is,
which is observed to develop the genetic code, has been observed so
far. All mutations have proved to be harmful. It was understood that
mutation, which is presented as an "evolutionary mechanism," is actu-
ally a genetic occurrence that harms living things, and leaves them dis-
abled. (The most common effect of mutation on human beings is can-

cer.) Of course, a destructive mechanism cannot be an "evolutionary
mechanism." Natural selection, on the other hand, "can do nothing by
itself," as Darwin also accepted. This fact shows us that there is no
"evolutionary mechanism" in nature. Since no evolutionary mecha-
nism exists, no such any imaginary process called "evolution" could
have taken place.

The Fossil Record: No Sign of Intermediate Forms
The clearest evidence that the scenario suggested by the theory of
evolution did not take place is the fossil record.
According to this theory, every living species has sprung from a
predecessor. A previously existing species turned into something else
