Why is there hardly any evidence in the fossil record of the millions & millions of complex organism with failed mutations?
Evolution brings order out of chaos, the chaos must leave behind some "mess" surely? - this "mess" being millions of recorded failed mutations within the fossil record.
Can the lack of evidence prove evolution is not a driving force in life as we see today?
An analogy of this is leaving a group of monkeys in a room with a typewriter to produce a perfect copy of Shakespeare's Hamlet through random keystrokes. You return years later and find a copy of Hamlet, but in a mess of loads of meaningless paper.
Why does the fossil record show little/no evidence of the millions of failed mutation which must have occurred for every successful one?
My thoughts here are on the back of reading the following article;
