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
errors, 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 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 out-
right scientific fact that totally undermines this theory: Mutations do not cause liv-
ing beings to develop; on the contrary, 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 orderly changes in the struc-
ture 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 harmful. It was understood that mutation, which is present-
ed as an "evolutionary mechanism," is actual-
ly 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 mecha-
nism cannot be an "evolutionary mecha-
nism." 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
Random mutations are always harmful evolutionary mechanism exists, no such any
