                  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 muta-
               tions, 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 "muta-
               tions," that is, genetic disorders. Yet, there is an outright scientific fact
               that totally undermines this theory: Mutations do not cause living be-
               ings to develop; on the contrary, they are always harmful.
                  The reason for this is very simple: DNA has a very complex struc-
               ture, 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 mu-
                    tations are harmful since they are random, rather than orderly chan-
                    ges 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. 67
                  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 ac-
               tually a genetic occurrence that harms living things, and leaves them
