252 LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

There is no single fossil showing that species developed
gradually. An examination of the layers of the Earth’s
crust and the fossil record reveals that life came into
FALSE
being on Earth suddenly.

Today, the model that Darwinists espouse, despite their
own awareness of its scientific invalidity, is Neo-Dar-
winism. The theory maintains that millions of living
species were formed through 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 horrific images
that appeared after the nuclear explosions in
Chernobyl, Hiroshima and Nagasaki are the
exact results brought about by mutations. The
organisms with proper structures either died or
were severely damaged by mutations.
The reason for this is very simple: DNA
has a very complex structure, and random
effects can only harm it. The American ge-
neticist B. G. Ranganathan explains this as
follows:
