Our good Grasse is simply wrong. Mutations DO produce evolution from one species to another. There are several ways to evolve as a species, mutation is only one of them.

"In the broadest sense, evolution is merely change, and so is all-pervasive; galaxies, languages, and political systems all evolve. Biological evolution ... is change in the properties of populations of organisms that transcend the lifetime of a single individual. The ontogeny of an individual is not considered evolution; individual organisms do not evolve. The changes in populations that are considered evolutionary are those that are inheritable via the genetic material from one generation to the next. Biological evolution may be slight or substantial; it embraces everything from slight changes in the proportion of different alleles within a population (such as those determining blood types) to the successive alterations that led from the earliest protoorganism to snails, bees, giraffes, and dandelions."

Here you can read why evolution is a fact btw http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-fact.html. So Michael Denton is wrong.
You wrote: ’Information theorist Hubert Yockey writes, "One must conclude that, contrary to the established and current wisdom, a scenario describing the genesis of life on earth by chance and natural causes which can be accepted on the basis of fact and not faith has not yet been written." ’
He even admits that evolution is an established fact/wisdom. Again, scientists do not claim life evolved by random chance. Reread my previous posts.
About Darwin saying something about divinity: Would you tell me where you got that quote from, please? I’m pretty sure Darwin never said that. Someone called Dawkin may have, but he’s not Charles Darwin.
Palaeontology: I once again suggest you read up on fossilisation and how difficult it is for a dead animal/plant to become a fossil. And realise, that complete transitional fossil without morphological gaps exist.
Genetics: Here http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/modern-synthesis.html ALL you want to know.
Mathematics: Okay, AGAIN: Scientists do not say life evolved by random chance. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/

Here's some garbage they posted.
