So one-celled stuff mutates into fungi in one spot, while some other one-celled stuff mutates into a worm in another spot, then those groups get established and mutate into something else etc.

I don't see it. Beside, that would be a lot of coincidences to assume they are random occurrances.

Actually the transition from one-celled organism to a multicelled organism like worms isn't that direct. (a good example of an intermediate would be the Volvox)

These occurrences may be random but they can happen in every individual independently. And since there are many individuals their occurrence isn't that unlikely. Note that the probability for one particular beneficial mutation may be low but in general there are several possible beneficial mutations that can occur to one of those many individuals.

I know I just asked you this on another thread, but do you have any arguments that aren't based on ignorance and illogic?
