Can you name a mutation that helped any animal in the wild survive? In the experiments with fruit flies, all of the mutations were dangerous, not beneficial. A mutation is not a creation of a new gene, but an error in existing ones.
If you want a solid, fact-based answer, look at some of Kent Hovind’s videos. He gives actual proof as to why large-scale evolution isn’t possible.

animals are usually quite well adapted to their environment, therefor any significant alteration to the animal will likely be deterimental to it's survival.
@BoxerShorts
I can't believe these people still cite convicted felon Kent Hovind as if he has any credibility. ad hominem
Ah, that old argument - "There are no good mutations!" Fundies seem not to notice the sickle-cell antimalarial one.
In the experiments with fruit flies, all of the mutations were dangerous, not beneficial doesn't have to be beneficial in a single step . Suppose a fly has a mutation that is not beneficial, that may even be detrimental, but is not immediately lethal; it can be survived long enough to reproduce and pass it on. If this is the case, a second mutation among the apparently disadvantaged offspring could have an effect that, when combined with the inherited first mutation, nullifies its effect or even turns out to be beneficial.

Well, in fact, being black(which is caused by amounts of melanine), prevents you from sunburning. Try again and don´t quote a thief who has no idea of what he´s talking about.
1) Pepper moths' change in colouration. Want more examples of beneficial mutations? I can find 'em.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
bullshit

Like the mutation that created you , for example, DancerLynn.
>:D

I'm afraid Kentypoos isn't currently available to give you said actual proof. He's rather busy right now, taking a solid fat-based cock up his arse by his cellmate Bubba, giving him proof of one thing - via the whispering in his ear:
Where is your God now, bitch?!

I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning. Smells like... victory.
Kentie has yet to demonstrate knowing the difference between atoms, molecules, genomes, chromosomes and all those other scary, big words.
"Can you name a mutation that helped any animal in the wild survive?"
Yes.
And Kent Hovind is an idiot, therefore you are an idiot's idiot.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Please, stop it. You are literally going to kill me with laughter.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
