However, the laws of inheritance discovered by Gregor
Mendel (1822-84) and verified by the science of genetics, which
flourished in the twentieth century, utterly demolished the leg-
end that acquired traits were passed on to subsequent genera-
tions. Thus, natural selection was left ‘alone’ and consequently

rendered completely ineffective as an evolutionary mechanism.

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 repli-

cation errors, as the “cause of favorable variations” in addition
to natural selection.
Today, the model that Darwinists espouse, despite their
own awareness of its scientific invalidity, is Neo-Darwinism.
The theory maintains that millions of living species were
formed through a process whereby numerous complex organs
of these organisms (e.g., ears, eyes, lungs, and wings) under-
went “mutations”, that is, genetic disorders. Yet, there is an

outright scientific fact that totally undermines this theory: Mu-
tations do not cause living beings to develop; on the contrary,
they are always harmful. The horrific images that appeared af-
ter the nuclear explosions in Chernobyl, Hiroshima and Na-
gasaki are the exact results brought about by mutations. The or-
ganisms with proper structures either died or were severely

damaged by mutations.
The reason for this is very simple: DNA has a very com-
plex structure, and random effects can only harm it. The
American geneticist B. G. Ranganathan explains this as follows:
