The reason for this is very simple: DNA has a very com-
plex 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 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 which, in all prob-
ability, 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 harm-
ful. 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 mechanism cannot be an "evolutionary
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 evolutionary mechanism exists, no such imaginary

process called "evolution" could have taken place.
