HOW DO THE UNWISE INTERPRET THE QUR'AN?
numerous complex organs of these organisms such as the 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 always cause harm to them.
The reason for this is very simple: the DNA has a very
complex structure and random effects can only cause harm to it.
American geneticist B.G. Ranganathan explains this as follows:
Mutations are small, random, and harmful. They rarely occur
and the best possibility is that they will be ineffectual. These
four characteristics of mutations imply that mutations cannot
lead to an evolutionary development. A random change in a
highly specialised organism is either ineffectual or harmful. A
random change in a watch cannot improve the watch. It will
most probably harm it or at best be ineffectual. An earthquake
does not improve the city, it brings destruction. 10
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 actually a genetic occurrence that harms living beings, and leaves
them disabled. (The most common effect of mutation on human
beings is cancer). No doubt, 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 mechanism exists, neither could any imaginary
process called evolution have taken place.
