Crippled babies who were born in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster. This picture
                reveals that mutations, which evolutionists claim have an effect on the origins of living
                things, actually have disastrous effects on human beings.



                    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 building, there would be a
                    random change in the framework of the building which, in all probability,
                    would not be an improvement.  61
                    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 "evolutionary mechanism," is actually a genetic occurrence
               that harms living 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 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 evolutionary
               mechanism exists, no such any imaginary process called "evolution" could
               have taken place.



                                                                The Misconception of Evolution     247
