The reason for this is very
simple: DNA has a very com-
plex structure, and random
effects can only harm it. The
American geneticist B. G. Ran-
ganathan explains this as fol-
lows:
First, genuine mutations are very
rare in nature. Secondly, most
mutations are harmful since they
are random, rather than orderly
Accidental mu ta tions de vel op in to
de fects in hu mans as well as oth - changes in the structure of genes;
er liv ing be ings. The Chernobyl any random change in a highly
dis as ter is an eye-open er for the
ef fects of mu ta tions. ordered system will be for the
worse, not for the better. For ex-
ample, 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. 22
Not surprisingly, no mutation example, which is useful, that
is, which is observed to develop the genetic code, has been ob-
served so far. All mutations have proved to be harmful. It was un-
derstood that mutation, which is presented as an "evolutionary
mechanism," is actually a genetic occurrence that harms living
things, and leaves them disabled. (The most common effect of mu-
tation on human beings is cancer.) Of course, a destructive mecha-
nism cannot be an "evolutionary mechanism." 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 evolutionary mechanism exists, no such any imag-
inary process called "evolution" could have taken place.
