                    ture, and random effects can only harm it. The American geneti-
                    cist 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 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 proba-
                    bility, would not be an improvement. 99

                    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
               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 "evolutionary mecha-
               nism." Natural selection, on the other hand, "can do nothing by itself,"

               as Darwin also accepted. This fact shows us that there is no "evolution-
               ary mechanism" in nature. Since no evolutionary mechanism exists, no
               such any imaginary process called "evolution" could have taken place.
