AAA, the ad hoc bullshit you're spewing is tired. I'm not going to get into a protracted argument here, but you're committing a fallacy of composition on top of starting with a false premise.
Evolution is not purely random, and treating it as such is false. Also, you are assuming that all mutations are sequential. They are not. Making ad hoc statistical observations about many many mutations and treating the process as one occurrence is a ridiculous oversimplification of a process that you clearly do not understand.
I'll put it like this, for comparison: There have been, let's say as a conservative estimate, 5,500 generations of homo sapiens. Let's say the average person has sex 80 times in a year. Let's say the average fertility range is 15-55, so the average person will have sex 3200 times in their life. The average ejaculation includes 1.3 billion sperm cells. The average woman will produce around 400 viable ovum in her lifetime. Doing the math gives us, in your lineage, conservatively, a 4x10-²⁵ chance that you would exist. And that doesn't even account for all the nocturnal emissions and masturbatory sperm cells that you could have been, and it doesn't account for the complicated math that would account for each pair of people meeting at just the right time and marrying/fucking to make babies.
So would it be wise for me to doubt your existence based on this awesome ad hoc calculation?

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
