I never even see the best argument against evolution; that copies deteriorate in quality.

Evolution would be like taking an image of a 420 million year old shark, producing a bunch of photocopies of that shark, throwing away the 'unfit' sharks and then producing a bunch of new photo copies from those sharks that didn't get discarded. Assuming an average generational gap of 5 years, this process should after 84 million iterations produce an image of almost every species of vertebrate currently living on earth.

I'll be honest, it doesn't sound feasible, and I say that as someone who actually believes in the process of evolution.
