LOYALTY DESCRIBED IN THE QUR'AN
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 beings to
develop; on the contrary, they are always harmful.
The reason for this is very simple: DNA has a very complex struc-

ture, 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 exam-
ple, 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 improve-
ment. 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 harmful. It was understood that
mutation, which is presented as an "evolutionary mechanism," is actu-
ally a genetic occurrence that harms living things, and leaves them dis-
abled. (The most common effect of mutation on human beings is
cancer.) Of course, a destructive mechanism cannot be an "evolution-
ary 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 mecha-
nism exists, no such any imaginary process called "evolution" could
have taken place.
