Trouble is, you have every possibility of losing everything which you just accomplished. In order for evolution to work, you have to assume that your huge single gamble paid off, and now you can bet again with all your winnings. That's the fallacy. Evolution requires you to win and win , one loss and the animal dies and you have to start over. You would run out of animals with that gambling policy. You just can't stack success upon success by rolling the options. The actual fact is that animals are changing without the death sentence which must be enforced with happen-chance as a mechanism.Still, you fail to grasp the enormity of the numbers we're dealing with, here.
You wouldn't have had just one single initial self replicating organic compound... you'd get... Avogadro's constant of them.
But you speak of animals... which just says you don't know anything, nor have you given it any honest thought...
