Tell me, is E.coli a successful organism? Is it struggling to survive in our day to day world?
Yes it is succesful but what is the use of their unceasing mutations, if they do not produce evolutionary change?

3 facts about mutations

l- The direct effect of mutations is harmful: Since they occur randomly, they almost always damage the living organism that undergoes them. Reason tells us that unconscious intervention in a perfect and complex structure will not improve that structure, but will rather impair it. Indeed, no "useful mutation" has ever been observed.

2- Mutations add no new information to an organism's DNA: The particles making up the genetic information are either torn from their places, destroyed, or carried off to different places. Mutations cannot make a living thing acquire a new organ or a new trait. They only cause abnormalities like a leg sticking out of the back, or an ear from the abdomen.

3- In order for a mutation to be transferred to the subsequent generation, it has to have taken place in the reproductive cells of the organism: A random change that occurs in a cell or organ of the body cannot be transferred to the next generation. For example, a human eye altered by the effects of radiation, or by other causes, will not be passed on to subsequent generations.

"Mutations, in time, occur incoherently. They are not complementary to one another, nor are they cumulative in successive generations toward a given direction. They modify what preexists, but they do so in disorder, no matter how…. As soon as some disorder, even slight, appears in an organized being, sickness, then death follow. There is no possible compromise between the phenomenon of life and anarchy"-Grasse

"No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution."-Grasse

Obviously, I do. I said carrier, which are those with hetereozygous mutated Haemoglobin gene. These people are weakly phenotypic of the sickle cell condition, not enough to cause major health hazard but their increased malaria resistance gives them to the edge over normal Hb carriers.
Before you make a bigger fool of yourself, read here.
FYI People can die because of this disease, evolutionist would say anything to prove there point even if its illogical.

Why not? If it were the case that all people with cars died in accidents, or at least most then we'd be left with mainly paralysed people to mate and pass on their mutate genes.
This is mendelian genetics, it's as basic as it gets. Evolution doesn't care whether a gene is considered useful or not, that is subjective. The selection pressures change with the environment, it is not set in stone
o plz....
