to such external factors as radiation or replication errors, as the
"cause of favorable 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
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 scien-
tific 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 muta-
tions 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 ran-
dom 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, 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 ac-
tually a genetic occurrence that harms living things, and leaves them
disabled. (The most common effect of mutation on human beings is
cancer.) Of course, a destructive mechanism cannot be an "evolu-
tionary 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 evolution-
ary mechanism exists, no such any imaginary process called "evolu-
tion" could have taken place.
