The Little Man in the Tower







                  However, the laws of inheritance discovered by Gregor Mendel (1822-
               84) and verified by the science of genetics, which flourished in the twentieth
               century, utterly demolished the legend that acquired traits were passed on to
               subsequent generations. Thus, natural selection fell out of favor as an
               evolutionary mechanism.





                  Neo-Darwinism and Mutations


                  In order to find a solution, Darwinists advanced the "Modern Synthetic
               Theory," or as it is more commonly known, Neo-Darwinism, at the end of
               the 1930s. Neo-Darwinism added mutations, which are distortions formed in
               the genes of living beings due to such external factors as radiation or
               replication errors, as the "cause of favorable variations" in addition to
               natural mutation.

                  Today, the model that Darwinists espouse, despite their own awareness
               of its scientific invalidity, is neo-Darwinism. The theory maintains that
               millions of living beings formed as a result of a process whereby numerous
               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 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
