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 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 build-
ing, there would be a random change in the framework of
the building which, in all probability, would not be an
improvement. 9
Not surprisingly, no mutation example, which is useful, that
is, which is observed to develop the genetic code, has been
observed so far. All mutations have proved to be harmful. It
was understood that mutation, which is presented as an "evo-
lutionary mechanism," is actually a genetic occurrence that
harms living things, and leaves them disabled. (The most com-
mon effect of mutation on human beings is cancer.) Of course,
a destructive mechanism cannot be an "evolutionary mecha-
nism." 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 evo-
lutionary 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 evolution did not take place is the fossil record.
