Per point one (a fundamental misunderstanding of the subject) and inherent laziness in the gamma… Two recent studies… 50,000 to 100,000 fatal mutations for every beneficial one (UNC)

75.9% harmful vs. 1.3% beneficial mutations (UMich)

Both studies are readily available with only a cursory search (you have to be lazy to miss them), and both make Darwinian evolution a non-starter

I knew that the majority of random mutations were harmful, but I did not appreciate how bad that ratio really is. "Evolution" plays Russian Roulette with 4 out of 6 chambers loaded.

Yes, and then pulling the trigger 1600 times in a row
