THE HYPOCRITE ACCORDING TO THE QUR’AN


               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 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 building, 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 ob-
             served so far. All mutations have proved to be harmful. It was
             understood that mutation, which is presented as an "evolution-
             ary mechanism," is actually a genetic occurrence that harms liv-
             ing things, and leaves them disabled. (The most common effect
             of mutation on human beings is cancer.) Of course, a destructive
             mechanism cannot be an "evolutionary mechanism." Natural se-
             lection, 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 the-
             ory of evolution did not take place is the fossil record.
               According to this theory, every living species has sprung from
