One of their main arguments is that the modifications are very
improbably, and most are not beneficial, and so the probability of
beneficial evolution creating the diversity seen today is
microscopically low. They are, of course correct that the
overwhelming majority of mutations are not beneficial, but then they
neglect the non-probabilistic side of the equation--natural
selection, which is most decidedly *not* random, and which, when
conditions are right, can allow the most useful of all the random
mutations to become dominant within a surprisingly short generational
span.
