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 struc-
                  ture 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. (B. G. Ranganathan, Origins?, Pennsylva-
                  nia: The Banner of Truth Trust, 1988, p. 7.)


                  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 evolution-
             ary mechanism exists, no such imaginary process called "evolution"
             could have taken place.

                  Intermediate Forms

                  The clearest evidence that the scenario suggested by the theory of
             evolution did not take place is the fossil record.

                  According to the unscientific supposition of this theory, every
             living species has sprung from a predecessor. A previously existing
             species turned into something else over time and all species have
