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 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. 9
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 "evolution-
ary 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 mecha-
nism." 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 evolu-
tionary mechanism exists, no such any imaginary process
called "evolution" could have taken place.

The Fossil Record: No Sign of Intermediate Forms
The clearest evidence that the scenario suggested by the
theory of evolution did not take place is the fossil record.
According to the unscientific supposition of this theory, every
living species has sprung from a predecessor. A previously exist-
ing species turned into something else over time and all species
