entific fact that totally undermines this theory: Mutations do not cause liv-
ing 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 muta-
tions are harmful since they are random, rather than orderly changes
in the structure of genes; any random change in a highly ordered sys-
tem 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 probability, would not be an improve-
ment. 14
Not surprisingly, no mutation example, which is useful, that is, which is
observed to develop the genetic code, has been observed so far. All muta-
tions have proved to be harmful. It was understood 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 ef-
fect of mutation on human beings is cancer.) Of course, a destructive mech-
anism 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 imaginary process called
"evolution" could have taken place.

The Fossil Record: No Sign of Intermediate Forms

The clearest evidence that the scenario suggested by the theory of evo-
lution did not take place is the fossil record.
According to the unscientific supposition of this theory, every living species
has sprung from a predecessor. A previously existing species turned into
something else over time and all species have come into being in this way. In
other words, this transformation proceeds gradually over millions of years.
