Neo-Darwinism, at the end of the 1930s. Neo-Darwinism added
mutations, which are distortions formed in the genes of living be-
ings due to such external factors as radiation or replication errors,
as the "cause of favorable variations" in addition to natural muta-
tion.
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 organ-
isms (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 liv-
ing 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
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 exam-
ple, if an earthquake were to shake a highly ordered structure
such as a building, there would be a random change in the frame-
work of the building which, in all probability, would not be an
improvement. 72
Not surprisingly, no mutation example, which is useful, that
is, which is observed to develop the genetic code, has been ob-
served 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 beings is cancer.) Of course, a destructive
