How is it an argument against evolution? It "speeds up" the process of what would happen if there was such a mutation in the gene pool of those mice, and observes what would happen after the mutation. It's not trying to observe the mutation itself, it's trying to observe the effect of such a mutation.

Because it demonstrates stasis, not development of new genes through mutation and natural selection.

The pool of mice genes remains unchanged. Two isolated (and genetically narrowed) mice populations mixed and consequently re-aquired their full pre-existing variety. That's not evolution.

Pretty simple really. If God created life there is no reason to believe that He did not create the marvelous species - including man - which we see.
