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) 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 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 ge-
neticist B. G. Ranganathan explains this as follows:
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 ordered structure such as a building, there would be a
random change in the framework of the building which, in all prob-
ability, would not be an improvement. 9
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 things, and leaves
them disabled. (The most common effect of mutation on human be-
ings is cancer.) Of course, 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
