Neo-Darwinism and Mutations
In order to find a solution, Darwinists advanced the
"Modern Synthetic Theory," or as it is more commonly
known, Neo-Darwinism, at the end of the 1930's. Neo-
Darwinism added mutations, which are distortions formed
in the genes of living beings due to such external factors as
radiation or replication errors, as the "cause of favorable vari-
ations" in addition to natural mutation.
Today, the model that stands for evolution in the world is
Neo-Darwinism. The theory maintains 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 com-
plex structure, and random effects can only harm it. The
American geneticist B.G. Ranganathan explains this as fol-
lows:

First, genuine mutations are very rare in nature. Secondly,
most mutations are harmful since they are random, rather
than orderly changes in the structure of genes; any ran-
dom 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 build-
ing, there would be a random change in the framework of
