(1822-84) and verified by the science of genetics, which flourished in
the twentieth century, utterly demolished the legend that acquired
traits were passed on to subsequent generations. Thus, natural selec-
tion fell out of favor as an evolutionary mechanism.

Neo-Darwinism and Mutations

In order to find a solution, Darwinists advanced the "Modern
Synthetic Theory," or as it is more commonly known, Neo-
Darwinism, at the end of the 1930s. Neo-Darwinism added muta-
tions, 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) underwent "mutations," that is, genetic
disorders. Yet, there is an outright scientific fact that totally under-
mines this theory: Mutations do not cause living beings to de-
velop; on the contrary, they are always harmful.
The reason for this is very simple: DNA has a very complex struc-
ture, 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 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 earth-
quake were to shake a highly ordered structure such as a building,
there would be a random change in the framework of the building
