Yeah, everyone who's taken 8th grade biology knows the supposed mechanism of natural selection coupled with mutation. The question is whether or not that mechanism is actually capable of explaning what we see. Mutations are rare, and expecting hundreds at one time and in a row, and in the correct sequence is unlikely.
