Its your made up story, whatever you say is the way it is.

Maybe the neandertal level was where the apes started? You connect
the dots to fit the story you want to push you can make anything fit,
that is the reason I dislike people telling me the chain of life took
this path from simple to complex. We really only know what we found,
why and what that means has always come from between the ears of
someone.

The belief about evolution is that over time radom changes occured.
The good and bad changes over time caused life to evolve.
The belief is that random changes will improve life over time.
I'd like you to show this can happen in a complex computer program
by adding to it key strokes randomly over time in the program's code.

Why do you always make that vague statement again and again; “random changes”?
What kind of changes? why be so vague rather than specific?
It isn’t any kind of “random changes”; it is specifically random mutations.
Any other kind of “random changes” are totally irrelevant to the evolution process.
For example, a lightning strike may cause a “random change”; -but what has that got to do with evolution?
+ evolution isn’t simply just about random mutations; it is that combined with the effects of natural selection which is NOT random. Thus the evolution process is not totally random -only partly so.
…The good and bad changes over time caused life to evolve. ....…
NO -just the good mutations lead to evolution when they are continually selected by natural selection. The bad mutations are simply eliminated by natural selection thus they do not lead to any evolution.
…The belief is that random changes will improve life over time….
No; it is the non-random natural selection selectively acting on the good mutations to spread them to the rest of the population that lead to a species becoming better adapted to its environment. Simply producing just any kind of “random changes” and without natural selection would, generally, not “improve life over time” -why should it? -and this is NOT what evolution says.
…I'd like you to show this can happen in a complex computer program

The analogy is totally wrong -the theory of evolution doesn’t say that life adapts by pure randomness but rather the theory of evolution says that life adapts by natural selection (which is NOT random) on random mutations -specifically, life adapts by natural selection (which is NOT random) on the random mutations that are good mutations -the bad ones being simply eliminated by natural selection.
Nobody who understands this would claim that you could simulate evolution by nothing more than putting purely random inputs into a computer.

I do no know, again, I was giving you suggestions on why that spot
could be there. If it is there by design, a designer who could get that
much 'right' about vision as there is correct, would know the ROI on not
having that spot there, or not.
justification for believing it?
That sounds like a bad system to me. It seems, given your system,
that you're an awfully bad candidate to give any advice on scientific
matters.

You said it couldn't happen at all, without help. To be explicit, when I asked you if life could ever arise from non-life, you said "no, not on its own." If that's the case, how could any sort of design help bring something non-living to life?
sort of implies with the right help it could now doesn't it?
