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 total-
ly undermines 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 muta-
tions 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 earth-
quake were to shake a highly ordered structure such as a build-
ing, there would be a random change in the framework of the
building which, in all probability, would not be an improve-
ment. (B. G. Ranganathan, Origins?, Pennsylvania: The Banner of
Truth Trust, 1988, p. 7.)
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 beings is cancer.) Of course, a destructive
mechanism cannot be an "evolutionary mechanism." Natural selec-
tion, on the other hand, "can do nothing by itself," as Darwin also
accepted. This fact shows us that there is no "evolutionary mech-
anism" in nature. Since no evolutionary mechanism exists, no such
imaginary process called "evolution" could have taken place.
