For those with open minds I would mention that the most obvious

as to whether evolution is even possible is in the area of genetics,

mutations which we see in animals today, we can see than in most cases
the resulting life is not viable. And that really significant changes
just don't happen, and cannot.

Exactly MOST changes are fatal, but NOT all, some have slight side
effects.

This is not correct. Most mutations have no effect whatever. Most of them
are in non coding regions. Even most mutations to coding regions cause no
appreciable phenotypic change.
