"although [evolution] is blind it seems to happen in favour of every specie that exists."

Your statement is a tautology. It's the same non-logic as this:

"Although winning the lottery is by chance, it seems to happen in favour of every lottery winner that exists".

MUTATION is blind, or random. SELECTION is not.

And if you want to know how mutation and selection slowly "worked" (happened) to produce a useful ability READ SOME BOOKS or even just LISTEN to the videos you keep moaning about.

100pjo001 The fact you are so ignorant about basic stuff like some fish species having lungs, and yet consider yourself able to discuss evolution - it's astounding.

Demanding to know of a single mutation that produces a complete set of lungs - demanding the absurd - displays really embarrassing ignorance.

Your duty is to enlighten yourself. To expect others to do it for you - what lazy arrogance! There are thousands of books (& videos) that answer your points. READ SOME.

"I also deny evolution because it makes no sense at all"

No, you're denying evolution because WHAT YOU THINK IT IS makes no sense at all. Your thoughts on it are incredibly ill-informed. No wonder it makes no sense to you: you're like a little child who's heard that petroleum is made from fossil organisms: now you're stomping your foot and calling daddy's car stupid because it won't open its mouth and eat a handful of dead insects!

Your garbled child's eye view of evolution makes no sense.

Mutations that produce new information - example & explanation by donexodus2 in How Evolution Works Part 4- Mutations. Also, see Shanedk vids.

You need to stop with this attitude of "I don't know anything about this so it's stupid."

Going on about "disfigured species" doesn't earn you any respect. (Give an example of how a *species* COULD be "disfigured". A nonsensical concept!)

You need to actually sit down and LEARN something. Watch the evolution series by donexodus (he's a gpd-believer.)

When you say "why do mutations always move in the right sirection" you're asking what philosophers call an incoherent question.

It's like you're looking around at a great party held by the winning team and saying "Why is it always only the winning team that wins?"

The "missing" non-benevolent mutations you're talking about - you don't see them because the vast majority of them result in foetuses that don't develop, or are stillborn, or die very soon after birth, or die in infancy, or are the first to suffer when food runs short, when the nearest waterhole dries, or when there are few mates to compete over.

Amongst wild cheetahs, NINE OUT OF TEN cubs die under a year old. A number have a genetic glitch - splayed feet. You just never get to see those.

"ANY change can happen within the dna due to "blind" mutations."
Correct

"Why do mutations always move in the right direction"
MUTATIONS don't: SELECTION does.

And the direction is only "right" because you're only looking back at what's left standing, and can't see all the rest that fell.

Just one animal, just this year, just on youtube, you can see enough blind kittens and polydactylic cats on youtube alone to see there are non-benevolent mutations and neutral mutations aplenty.

I can easily reply to what you've said but I don't debate people who resort to childish insults and attacks. Because there's nothing civil about people like you. All I'm doing here is expressing my views about evolution. I'm not claiming it to be wrong ok. Control yourself and your emotions then I'll talk to you in a "Mature" "civil" manner.
