Neo-Darwinism and Mutations

In order to find a solution, Darwinists advanced the "Modern Synthetic
Theory," or as it is more commonly known, Neo-Darwinism, at the end of the
1930s. Neo-Darwinism added mutations, which are distortions formed in the
genes of living beings due to such external factors as radiation or replication er-
rors, as the "cause of favorable variations" in addition to natural mutation.
Today, the model that Darwinists espouse, despite their own awareness of its
scientific invalidity, is neo-Darwinism. The theory maintains that millions of liv-
ing beings formed as a result of a process whereby numerous 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 totally under-
mines this theory: Mutations do not cause living beings to develop; on the con-
trary, they are always harmful.
The reason for this is very simple: DNA has a very complex structure, and
random effects can only harm it. The American geneticist B. G. Ranganathan ex-
plains this as follows:

First, genuine mutations are very rare in nature. Secondly, most mutations are

antenne
leg
eye

mouth

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, evolutionary biologists have sought
examples of beneficial mutations by creating mutant flies. But these efforts have
always resulted in sick and deformed creatures. The top picture shows the head of
a normal fruit fly, and the picture on the left shows the head of a fruit fly with legs
coming out of it, the result of mutation.
