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
"mutations," that is, genetic disorders. Yet, there is an outright scien-
tific 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 complex
structure, and random effects can only harm it. The American ge-
neticist B. G. Ranganathan explains this as follows:
First, genuine mutations are very rare in nature. Secondly, most muta-
tions are harmful since they are random, rather than orderly changes
in the structure of genes; any random change in a highly ordered sys-
tem will be for the worse, not for the better. For example, if an earth-
quake were to shake a highly ordered structure such as a building,
