Re: Probability
I predict that if you toss a fair coin 1,000 times half of them will come up heads.
Er, the probability of that is 9.3326E-302 not 1.
Something near to half of them will come up heads, but the probability of any one specific outcome is 1/2 raised to the power of the number of trials.

Re: Biston betularia
Evolution must be irreversible?
Who knew?
Mutations are reversible.
Therefore evolution is reversible (although reversing is rare).

Re: Mutations and new information
You have not even attempted to demonstrate that the Tripedalia cystophora eyes could not have arisen through evolutionary mechanisms. You haven't even tried to demonstrate it's "baffling" to anyone but you.
BTW, "baffling" is not synonymous with "impossible".

Re: What is natural selection?
So that's a no, you are not prepared to respond to any criticisms.
