During a debate with a friend, he raised the following question: "Is there any mathematical calculation which shows that evolution is possible?"
A mathematical calculation should show, that if given X time in the presence of mutations evolution happens, and the mathematical calculation should also be consistent with fossil findings.
Do such mathematical calculation which calculates all the mutations from reptiles to mammals exist?
Do such calculations which settles fossil evidence and mutations rate(mathematical), exist?

Thanks for the reply.
Fossil findings and DNA evidence of evolution would be used to set up the calculations, so the calculations would necessarily be consistent with fossil findings, because that is what they are based upon.
i saw that research which determined that the mutation rate in humans is 175 neutral mutations, 3 deleterious, and a few beneficial.
The research is described here:

but, if the mutation rate is determined by comparing chimpanzee DNA with human DNA, what does it give us?
How such a research promotes TOE?
