              as radiation or replication errors, as the "cause of favourable
              variations" in addition to natural mutation.
                  Today, the model that stands for evolution in the world is
              Neo-Darwinism. The theory maintains that millions of living

              beings present on the earth formed as a result of a process
              whereby numerous complex organs of these organisms such
              as the 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 always
              cause harm to them.
                  The reason for this is very simple: the DNA has a very
              complex structure and random effects can only cause harm to
              it. American geneticist 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 not be a random change in the framework of
                 the building which, in all probability, would not be an
                 improvement. 10
                  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 beings, and leaves them
