However, the laws of inheritance discovered by Gregor Mendel
(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.

N Neo-Darwinism and Mutations
-
o
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 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 var-
iations" in addition to natural mutation.
Today, the model that stands for evolution in the world is Neo-
Darwinism. The theory maintains that millions of living beings formed
as a result of a process whereby numerous complex organs of these or-
ganisms (e.g., ears, eyes, lungs, and wings) underwent "mutations,"
that is, genetic disorders. Yet, there is an outright scientific fact that to-
tally undermines this theory:
Mutations do not cause living be-
ings to develop; on the contrary,
they are always harmful.
The reason for this is very sim-
ple: DNA has a very complex struc-
ture, and random effects can only
harm it. The American geneticist B.
All mutations observed are harmful. G. Ranganathan explains this as
Mutation cannot improve a species nor follows:
give rise to any new species. That is be-
cause there is a highly complex order in First, genuine mutations are
living things' DNA. Any random change very rare in nature. Secondly, most
arising in that molecule will only harm
the organism in question. The only mutations are harmful since they
changes mutations bring with them are
death, disease and deformity.
