                       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
