                 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 frame-
                 work of the building which, in all probability, would not be an improvement.
                 (B. G. Ranganathan, Origins?, Pennsylvania: The Banner of Truth Trust,
                 1988, p. 7.)
                 According to the claims of Darwinists, mutations must produce
             proportionate and coherent changes all over the body. For example, as
             per the claims of Darwinists, if an ear is formed on the right side as a
             result of chance mutations just as they claim, chance mutations should
             also form a second ear on the left side that shares the same symmetry
             and properties, and hears just as well. The hammer, anvil and stirrup
             must each come into existence in the same perfect and equal state.
             Random mutations must form heart valves on both sides in the same
             way; the valves and auricles produced by random mutations must be
             formed simultaneously and equally compatible with one another; they
             must be flawless, in their proper places. Huge discrepancies would
