Neo-Darwinism and Mutations

In order to find a solution, Darwinists advanced the "Modern
Synthetic Theory," or as it is more commonly known, Neo-Darwin-
ism, at the end of the 1930s. 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 favourable variations" in addition to natural mutation.
Today, the model that Darwinists espouse, despite their own
awareness of its scientific invalidity, 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 under-
mines 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 complex
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 system will be for the worse, not for the better. For exam-
ple, if an earthquake were to shake a highly ordered structure
such as a building, there would be a random change in the frame-
work of the building which, in all probability, would not be an
improvement. 33
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 things, and leaves
them disabled. (The most common effect of mutation on human
