I thought that perhaps random mutations were mutations that occured randomly.

So a neutral mutation occured. But somehow, while offering no selective advantage, came to predominate in the offspring. Then other neutral mutations occured, each one individually offering no selective advantage, but also came to predominate in the DNA. But then the neutral mutations came together and built a better mousetrap. Is that it?

Nice attempt at a straw man

It’s amazing that you follow/believe/worship a man that says God is most probably dead.

Yup! You got it. Seems simple enough. I can buy that. Kind of like... various parts randomly show up in a junkyard. They just keep showing up; more and more of them. And then one day a tornado comes through and, whallah! A DC-10 is formed! Why does anyone have trouble believing this?
