earth formed as a result of a process whereby numerous complex organs of
these organisms such as the ears, eyes, lungs, and wings, underwent

"mutations," that is, genetic disorders. Yet, there is an outright scientific fact
that totally undermines this theory: Mutations do not cause living beings to
develop; on the contrary, they always cause harm to them.
The reason for this is very simple: the DNA has a very complex structure
and random effects can only cause harm to it. American geneticist B.G.

Ranganathan explains this as follows:
Mutations are small, random, and harmful. They rarely occur and the best
possibility is that they will be ineffectual. These four characteristics of mutations
imply that mutations cannot lead to an evolutionary development. A random
change in a highly specialised organism is either ineffectual or harmful. A random
change in a watch cannot improve the watch. It will most probably harm it or at

best be ineffectual. An earthquake does not improve the city, it brings
destruction. 32
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 actually a genetic 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 accepted. This fact shows us that
there is no "evolutionary mechanism" in nature. 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
