                                 The Evolution Misconception

              as the 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 always
              cause harm to them.

                  The reason for this is very simple: the DNA has a very
              complex structure and random effects can only cause harm to
              it. 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. 10

                  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 beings, and leaves them
              disabled. (The most common effect of mutation on human
              beings is cancer). No doubt, 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, neither could any imaginary process called evolution
              have taken place.
