that acquired traits were passed on to subsequent generations.
Thus, natural selection 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
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) underwent "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. 42
Not surprisingly, no mutation example, which is useful, that is,
