Math
Its a proven fact that the vast majority of mutations are negative. Four billion years is nowhere near enough time for all the needed positive mutations to have occured that would have had to happen to produce the vast array of complex life forms we see today.
I see post after post of evolutionists calling everyone who disagrees with them stupid when they can't even do this simple math.
Then please show the math you have done. Thank you.
(oh you haven't have you? You have no clue about it do you?)

The math
We do not argue with books. If the math is so "simple" (which is what you said) then bring it here for examination.
Here is what will happen if you do that. You will find that the math (which is "simple" but which you don't understand at all) will be torn to pieces and shown to be nonsense. I suspect that this will be done by even the non mathematicians here but you are up against people who do, in fact, know the math as well.
You tried to fool people and pretend to know the math. You don't do you?
ABE
It is, in fact, not so astronomical. Because you don't understand how to do the math others have used it to lie to you. If you want help so they can't lie to you some more then bring the math here and we will help you with it.

Mutation Rates
Humans have some 10's of new mutations each and those are the ones that have had the really bad ones weeded out by spontaneous abortion (something like half of all fertilizations).
These are, at worst, not too bad and clearly most are neutral.
That means that there are between 50 and 500 billion mutations in humans every generation. Since we know that some are beneficial it only takes a very, very small proportion to produce lots of beneficial mutations (e.g, posters here who never develop wisdom teeth).
At 1/10 of 1 % we get between 50 and 500 million beneficial mutations a generation or a rate of 2 to 20 million a year. Is that enough for you?
