Darwinism added mutations, which are distortions formed
in the genes of living beings due to such external factors as
radiation or replication errors, as the "cause of favorable
variations" in addition to natural mutation.
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) under-
went "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 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
