LOL!  So you don't believe in survival of the fittest?

I used your _own_ language to make a point. But that not-with-standing,
there is evidence in the fossil record that 99% of all species that ever
lived have became extinct.

So why would your Designer allow such a thing?

That's a fact recognized by both sides. It's
solid empirical scientific evidence! That advocates of Intelligent
design don't accept scientific evidence is false accusation directed
towards us by you (as a representative of Darwin's theory) - but that's
a part of your propaganda.

But contrary to the disinformation and propaganda that you publish for
public and child consumption against intelligent design, ID is founded,
based and predicated upon much of the same scientific evidence as you
do.

I've called ID pseudo-intellectual because it demonstrates the wrong
way to think:  you don't understand something so you fabricate
something does nothing but "explain" what you don't understand.  At a
less severe level than ID, we would call that an ad hoc hypothesis,
and you should try and avoid that when you claim ID "explains"
anything.

Obviously, given the considerable numbers of physical and mental
diseases & disorders caused by detrimental mutations over vast spans of
time,  natural selection permitted a few to be passed on.
'Each succeeding generation had mutations parents, grandparents didn't
have.

Mutations which could perhaps be beneficial for each successive
generation.
