Nope. However, all evolutionists have to believe that random changes, not miracles are the source of new species, new life. That is what the theory of evolution is about - replacing God as the Creator for some nonsensical deux ex machina called 'natural selection' to which all the attributes of an intelligent being are given even though it does not have any form, substance or can even be said to have any sort of being. This 'natural selection' is proposed by evolutionists as some sort of natural law to which all life is subservient to. Problem is twofold - no one has ever found how this 'natural law' called selection operates and it is quite evident that it cannot create anything new. It can only destroy things. Evolution is therefore a very poor materialist attempt at replacing God and the miracles he performs with a totally materialistic explanation which as I and Francis Crick believe just plain does not work.
Indeed. Mutations create new things, and natural selection eliminates the vast bulk of mutations, those which are harmful to the creature or hinder its ability to reproduce.
Anyone can see how natural selection operates: if creatures leave offspring, and some creatures leave more than others, then those "winners" will leave more of their genes. It has even happened to human beings in historical periods (e.g., sickle-cell anemia recessives becoming common after at least 3 separate mutations in different populations, in response to the rise of malaria).
