due to such external factors as radiation or replication errors, as
the "cause of favorable variations" in addition to natural muta-
tion.
Today, the model that stands for evolution in the world is
Neo-Darwinism. The theory maintains that millions of living be-
ings formed as a result of a process whereby numerous complex or-
gans of these organisms (e.g., ears, eyes, lungs, and wings) under-
went "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 ge-
neticist B. G. Ranganathan explains this as follows:

First, genuine mutations are very rare in nature. Secondly, most mu-
tations are harmful since they are random, rather than orderly
changes in the structure of genes; any random change in a highly or-
dered 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 ran-
dom change in the framework of
the building which, in all proba-
bility, would not be an improve-
ment. 157
Not surprisingly, no mu-
tation example, which is use-
ful, that is, which is observed
to develop the genetic code,
Random mutations are always harmful
to living things. The picture shows a calf has been observed so far. All
born with two heads as the result of em- mutations have proved to
bryonic exposure to radiation or chemi-
be harmful. It was under-
cals.
