that millions of living beings formed as a result of a process whereby nu-
merous 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 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 struc-
ture, 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 probabil-
ity, would not be an improvement. 34
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 muta-
tion, which is presented as an "evolutionary mechanism," is actually a ge-
netic occurrence that harms living things, and leaves them disabled. (The

Crippled babies who were born in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster. This
picture reveals that mutations, which evolutionists claim have an effect on the
origins of living things, actually have disastrous effects on human beings.
