The Evolution Deception               125

             plex structure, 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 mutations are harmful since they are
                 random, rather than orderly changes in the structure
                 of genes; any random change in a highly ordered sys-
                 tem 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
                 random change in the framework of the building which,
                 in all probability, would not be an improvement. 12
                 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 "evo-
             lutionary mechanism," is actually a genetic occurrence that
             harms living things, and leaves them disabled. (The most com-
             mon effect of mutation on human beings is cancer.) Of course,
             a destructive mechanism cannot be an "evolutionary mecha-
             nism." 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
             mechanism exists, no such any imaginary process called "evolu-
             tion" 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.
