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 errors, 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 living beings formed as
a result of 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:
Mutations do not cause living beings to develop; on the
contrary, they are always harmful.
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 fol-
lows:

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 bet-
ter. 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 probability, would not be an improvement. 9
Not surprisingly, no mutation example, which is useful,
