We know why random mutations occur. It's just an imperfect process where DNA has been messed up.

With gravity, yes we understand the principles behind it, but have you ever thought about why is there gravity in the first place? Why are other objects attracted to one another and do bigger objects attract smaller ones? Well, science doesn't even have a clue why this is. We know why the random mutations and thus evolution happens, but why gravity does, no one has a clue.

This is pretty unsatisfactory. I'm not hugely invested in the creation vs evolution debate. But to say that "mutation happen, the end" doesn't explain anything.

A mutation would not move a non-seeing organism to a seeing organism with one mutation. And a mutation which wasn't useful, we are told will disappear over time. So, how do you get large changes in an organism through random mutations assuming non-utilitarian mutations don't ultimately survive?

Oh ok, I see what you're saying...

But the answer to this is gravity.
