It's amazing, although the night is horrendous! The most unspeakably scary and hideous things crawl into bed with you. If you turn a light on the most horrible and leathery things fly at you. It's worth it in the morning though. :)
These two paragraphs contradict each other.
The fact that there is a probability of a beneficial mutation occurring indicates that it is "inevitable", given enough time.
(Please correct me if I read your post wrongly or something!) :)
It should also be noted then that mutation rate is pretty high for most organisms. (I think it's 1/1000000000 i.e 1 error in every 1,000,000,000 nucleotides replicated for e.coli) Given time, it's inevitable that beneficial ones will arise.
I play jazz so I could do an extremely chromatic solo. It depends what the backing track is though really. I guess I could just stick to my trusty phrygian, count me in! :)

This website has a large selection of high quality backing tracks so peruse at will!
That's a hypothesis. It has not been tested, is supported by no evidence and makes very little sense in light of the evidence that we do have.
The theory of natural selection on the other hand explains all the evidence we have in an elegant and beautiful way. I don't think there is any...
Then please tell me what theory you have which is supported by more evidence than evolution. By your critique I assume you do have a more convincing theory to offer... :)
On youtube there is a video of a discussion about Richard Dawkins' documentary "The Root of All Evil?". In the discussion one man comes out with a corker, "The bible interprets itself".
Here's the video if you're interested:
