120 THOSE WHO EXHAUST ALL THEIR PLEASURES IN THIS LIFE

Today, the model that stands for evolution in the world
is Neo-Darwinism. The theory maintains that millions of liv-
ing beings formed as a result of a process whereby numer-
ous 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 total-
ly undermines this theory: Mutations do not cause living
beings to develop; on the contrary, they are always harm-
ful.
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
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 ran-
dom 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 build-
ing, 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 pre-
sented as an "evolutionary mechanism," is actually a
genetic occurrence that harms living things, and leaves
them disabled. (The most common effect of mutation on
