Supposedly Evolution brings about new life forms through mutations.  Mutations are mistakes that happen when living things reproduce.  Reproductive systems are designed to do just that - reproduce, copy, or duplicate, the original parent specie and they faithfully do that.
How often do mutations occur?
    They are rare.

Can mutations account for the generation of millions of species?
    No!  Mutations are rare and 99% of them are harmful!

Are mutations passed on to the next generation?
    They must be the dominant gene in order to be passed on which is extremely rare.

What population would be required to generate enough mutations to account for all living things?
    It would have required a population and reproduction rates millions of times greater than what has existed!

Is Evolution evident in organisms with relatively high mutation rates?
    No!  In those organisms that do have a higher mutation rate, the organisms have not evolved into anything else!

Which came first, mutations or the reproductive systems?
    Mutations are a result of the reproductive systems, yet these very reproductive systems are supposedly the result of mutations!

If you don't believe God created all living things, male and female, in 6 days....
How many millions of years was it between the first male and the first female?
