Neo-Darwinism. The theory maintains that millions of living
beings formed as a result of a process whereby numerous
complex organs of these organisms (e.g., ears, eyes, lungs,
and wings) underwent "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 contrary, they are always harmful.
The reason for this is very simple: DNA has a very com-
plex structure, and random effects can only harm it. The
American geneticist B. G. Ranganathan explains this as fol-
lows:
First, genuine mutations are very rare in nature.
Secondly, most mutations are harmful since they are ran-
dom, 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 observed so far. All mutations have proved to be harm-
ful. 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
