My high-school biology teacher (who hates creation) taught us that 99.9999...%
of all mutations are destructive and don't get passed on in future
generations. So I fail to see how random mutations could result in something
better. Even if there was a beneficial mutation, would it get passed on to its
offspring in future generations?
