Today, the model that stands for evolution in the world is Neo-
Darwinism. The theory maintains that millions of living beings for-
med as a result of a process whereby numerous complex organs of
these organisms (e.g., ears, eyes, lungs, and wings) underwent "mu-
tations," that is, genetic disorders. Yet, there is an outright scientific
fact that totally undermines this theory: Mutations do not cause li-
ving 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 gene-
ticist 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 bet- A two-headed cow
