Oh my gosh, if that's the best you can do then you need to go learn how cell reproduction works. The cell cycle is highly regulated by kinases and cyclin enzymes that monitor the DNA and cell and keep only healthy cells from moving on. Then the DNA replicates, which by itself is amazingly complex, then the actual process of mitosis involves specific attachment of molecular machines, the winding of DNA into heterochromatin and many other complex regulatory mechanisms. If any one of these parts is not fully developed at the start, then you are unable to reproduce, and thus unable to evolve. Don't say I don't understand it just because you don't have any other way to argue the points I'm making.
I have been working as an industry biologist for 27 years and have an advanced degree in biology. You look like a complete idiot when you assume things about people.
Mutations are hardly rare. How does your immune system handle them? What mutations can result in loss of cell fitness? What mutations can enhance fitness?
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
