184 THE PERFECT DESIGN IN THE UNIVERSE IS NOT BY CHANCE

Darwin also gave similar examples. In his book The Origin of Species,

for instance, he said that some bears going into water to find food trans-
formed themselves into whales over time. 37
However, the laws of inheritance discovered by Gregor Mendel

(1822-84) and verified by the science of genetics, which flourished in the
twentieth century, utterly demolished the legend that acquired traits
were passed on to subsequent generations. Thus, natural selection fell
out of favor as an evolutionary mechanism.

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 1930's. Neo-Darwinism added mutations, which are dis-

tortions 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 evo-
lution in the world is Neo-Darwinism.
The theory maintains that millions of liv-

ing 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,
The direct effect of random
mutations is harmful. Above is genetic disorders. Yet, there is an outright
