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.
