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 1930s. Neo-Darwinism added muta-
tions, 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 variations" 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 "mu-
tations," that is, genetic disorders. Yet, there is an outright scientific
fact that totally undermines this theory: Mutations do not cause liv-
ing 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 genet-
icist B. G. Ranganathan explains this as follows:

First, genuine mutations are very rare in nature. Secondly, most muta-
tions 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 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. 139 HARUN YAHYA
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 ac- (ADNAN OKTAR)
tually a genetic occurrence that harms living things, and leaves them
