The Deception of Evolution

rors, as the "cause of favourable variations" in addition to natu-
ral mutation.
Today, the model that stands for evolution in the world is
Neo-Darwinism. The theory maintains that millions of living be-
ings 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: Muta-
tions 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
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 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,
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 "evolutiona-
ry mechanism", is actually a genetic occurrence that harms liv-
ing things, and leaves them disabled. (The most common effect
of mutation on human beings is cancer.) Of course, a destructive
mechanism cannot be an "evolutionary mechanism". Natural
