The fact is there are none recorded. You have been told that evolution has come about via this but in fact we have none. Evolution is a theory and you are giving me theorys from the theory.

You tell me to go read a biology book steeped in a theory with theoretical ideas and yet you give me no facts. Or tell me to go to web sites about a theory. I am getting a feeling you don't really know and are just offended that I am disrupting something in your faith.

What is INCREDIBLE is that for the entire theory to work all things must 'evolve' at the same time and way to mutually benefit each other. Like the creature that has need of something from another creature--we are told that this species evolved to protect itself from A in this way but you see--how would it know HOW to do that?? Each time it tried and failed it would be DEAD! Maybe all these gooey globs had a laboratory and would watch each other hoping to be the one that actually figured out how not to die trying! Give me a break!
Evolution does not work as a theory unless you are willing to IGNORE the fact that with so many things DEPENDENT on each other. There is NO WAY it works!
You realize that plants would have DIED OFF without the carbon dioxide that animals put off in respiration. Try to grow a plant in and oxygen rich environment--doesn't work! And the fish that 'crawled out of the muck and became a land mammal' was not GENETICALLY changed--it was environmentally changed. And you theorists can bluster about 'millions of years' all you want. It does not make any logical sense. You have been duped.
And it was not 'intelligent design' either.
It was the VOICE OF GOD!

This is simply not true. There are several known examples of beneficial mutations that benefited the organism itself. A good one is the bacteria known as the "nylon bug", which has evolved the ability to digest nylon.

Scientists know exactly what mutation was involved - it was what's known as a "frame shift" mutation, when a chunk of DNA is shifted along. It clearly has benefited the organism, since it now has the ability to digest a new food which is present in its environment.

Of course, "beneficial" depends on the environment. A mutation that is beneficial in one environment - such as the ability to digest nylon, in the environment of waste pools around a nylon factory - is detrimental in another, say where there is no nylon around. But that's how evolution works - organisms that adapt to the environment thrive.

Unfortunately, you have been misled by people who should know better. The scientific facts are out there, if you care to find them. I recommend http://www.talkorigins.org as a starting point.

Every feature of every living organism is a beneficial mutation - well, almost. Deleterious mutations tend not to be propogated in the gene pool.

Wrong. The influenza virus mutates every year to become resistant to the previous year's vaccine. That's why you have to get a flu shot every year.

Because generally a genetic change would affect the offspring of the lifeform, not the lifeform itself

You are either uneducated are have been lied to by your religious handlers. I suspect both. Go read a biology book.

what are you talking about? beneficial mutations are why some animals survive and other dont... where did you get that idea from?

That's not true. Here are quite a few.
