reactions cause one of these billions of letters to change places in the DNA
chain with another, or to disappear completely. So, living creatures can suf-
fer damage as a result of the least alteration in this arrangement.
Throughout the years, many laboratory experiments have shown beyond
doubt the damage that mutations can wreak on living creatures.
B. G. Ranganathan, an American geneticist, describes the dangerous
effects of mutation:
First, genuine mutations are very rare in nature. Secondly, most mutations 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 or-
dered 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. 12
The noted evolutionist, Pierre Paul Grassé, admits that mutation can-
not cause any development in a living creature or change it into another
species. He says that to believe such a thing is pure fantasy:

The opportune appearance of mutations permitting animals and plants to
meet their needs seems hard to believe. Yet the Darwinian theory is even more
demanding: A single plant, a single animal would require thousands and
thousands of lucky, appropriate events. Thus, miracles would become the
