So, the same old arguments that have already been shown to not be accurate. Why bother with a new thread if you have nothing new to add?
I have just been reading the September 2015 issue of Scientific American. The whole issue is devoted to articles about Albert Einstein. He was a true master at "thought Experiments", many of which were confirmed be subsequent observations.
Your method of conjuring hypotheses in your mind is not working out very well because observations of biology, genetics and evolution contradict you.

One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie
If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy

Tanypteryx mentioned how Einstein could use his mind to imagine things that others were later able to validate. That's because Einstein was actually doing science. Evolution just IS imagination, it is NOT science.
Einstein didn't just imagine things. He worked them out, considered the consequences of each step and corrected his thought experiments when he made mistakes. He worked really hard at it, making detailed calculations and drawings for every detail. He did not publish his theories until he had worked out each detail and made sure each flaw was corrected.
My point was: you are no Einstein. You refuse to even consider flaws in your thinking when they are pointed out. You never try to correct your errors. You rule out mutations as the source of new genetic diversity and endlessly repeat your claims that genetic depletion is the end of evolution despite being shown evidence to the contrary.
You assert that your assertions are evidence and then repeat and repeat and repeat.
Meanwhile, evolution continues to happen. Millions of scientists report their observations and experiments and not one has ever validated your claims.
It is time to revise your hypothesis because it is clearly contrary to all the actual evidence.
I am sure you will be happy that I will not put any more effort into commenting on this pointless thread

Re: Contributed absolutely nothing??
Could you have that translated into Latin and then sung by a choir of monks in plainchant while they burn a witch? Only that's pretty much the only thing I can think of that would accentuate the irony.
You just made coffee come out my nose. If evolution was true that should not happen.

Re: Reliable Mutations
You all still believe the wrong stuff.
Well, that is what you believe.
We, on the other hand, have concluded that our version of evolution is correct because all the evidence supports it.
I'm coming up with some right stuff because I don't have YOUR preconceptions, but you aren't anywhere near rethinking them are you?
No, you are coming up with incorrect stuff because you have never studied genetics and you don't know what you are talking about.
We, on the other hand, can look at what is known about genetics and clearly see that none of the stuff you are coming up with actually describes reality.
Reality trumps belief every time, Faith, every time.

Re: Reliable Mutations
Nice. You answer my "belief" with yours.
Well, I answered your "belief" with our conclusions.
Just trying to help.
