154     THE MIRACLE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

           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 sys-
              tem 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. 27
              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 "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 any imaginary process called "evolution" could
           have taken place.

              No Sign Of Intermediate Forms

              The clearest evidence that the scenario suggested
           by the theory of evolution did not take place is the fos-
