Beneficial mutations are rarely observed. The defective mutations are
overwhelming the beneficial mutations, as evidenced by the increasing
list of genetic disorders. Perhaps, this explains the 99% extinction
rate of all life forms that ever lived as observed or recorded in the
fossil record, as well as the numbers of the species become extinct

 That doesn't say much for the intelligence of your designer. How long
would a designer with that failure rate survive in your industry?
 

Things change, new and better designs things just go downhill because of the second law. There is in companies a deliberate "fail rate" so new products to sell.
With the DNA coded information due to mutations (which are real) become increasingly less perfect when passed down to their offspring the defective genes are always down to the offspring never reversed; with the passage of time, the genome may  just become so overburden with defective genetics - bad mutations that failure to reproduce becomes inevitable. Maybe there is a loss of sexual drive, or instinct, all of which is expressed by genetics. As a species age, perhaps like human males species reach an age when sex desire dies and offsprings cannot happen.
