THE MIRACLE OF HUMAN CREATION

The reason for this is very simple: the DNA has a very complex struc-
ture and random effects can only cause harm to it. 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. 62
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 muta-
tion, which is presented as an "evolutionary mechanism," is actually a ge-
netic occurrence that harms living beings, and leaves them disabled. (The
most common effect of mutation on human beings is cancer). No doubt, a
destructive mechanism cannot be an "evolutionary mechanism." Natural
selection, on the other hand, "can do nothing by itself" as Darwin also ac-
cepted. This fact shows us that there is no "evolutionary mechanism" in na-
ture. Since no evolutionary mechanism exists, neither could any imaginary
process called evolution have taken place.

The Fossil Record: No Sign of Intermediate Forms
The clearest evidence that the scenario suggested by the theory of
evolution did not take place is the fossil record.
According to the theory of evolution, every living species has sprung
from a predecessor. A previously existing species turned into something
else in time and all species have come into being in this way. According to
the theory, this transformation proceeds gradually over millions of years.
Had this been the case, then numerous intermediary species should
have existed and lived within this long transformation period.
For instance, some half-fish/half-reptiles should have lived in the
past which had acquired some reptilian traits in addition to the fish traits
