Mutations are not good. Notice the word. It carries a very negative connotation, and there is a reason for that. Science has not proved that any mutation is beneficial to a species, just assumed that there is one, in order to support its theories. Also, the vast majority of mutations are not reproducible, meaning that they inhibit the reproductive system in some way. And some slightly off topic arguments- life does not come from non-life (check out Louis Pasteur's abiogenesis experiments) and the Second Law of Thermodynamics (I have heard this argued in a circle and concluded that backpedaling is a useful way to renege on an argument that you introduced) the lack of fossils is not an argument I use considering that very few creatures of any kind are actually fossilized, since it takes such special conditions. The otehr thing that contradicts Evolution is the existance of self-sacrifice. The ideas of love and humility (in people) and at least defending the young and weak in other animals simply cannot be explained by a natural selection or survival of the fittest, and these traits obviously exist.
