Accidental mutations
develop into defects
in humans as well as
other living beings.
The Chernobyl disas-
ter is an eye-opener
for the effects of mu-
tations

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 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 im-
provement. 36

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
disabled. (The most common effect of mutation on human beings is
cancer.) Of course, a destructive mechanism cannot be an "evolution-
ary mechanism." Natural selection, on the other hand, "can do noth-
ing by itself," as Darwin also accepted. This fact shows us that there
is no "evolutionary mechanism" in nature. Since no evolutionary
mechanism exists, no such any imaginary process called "evolution"
could have taken place.
