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 er-
rors, as the "cause of favorable variations" in addition to natural
mutation.
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
organs of these organisms (e.g., ears, eyes, lungs, and wings) un-
derwent "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 contra-
ry, 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 order-
ly 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 frame-
work of the building which, in all probability, would not be an im-
provement. 9
Not surprisingly, no mutation example, which is useful,
