No, this is only more of your effort to troll with disinformation. Natural selection weeds out mutations that are not beneficial. Natural selection chooses from among variations, choosing the successful ones. That's why we have sexual reproduction, because it enhances genetic variations. After 6,000 years of downhill "devolution", wouldn't you think everything should be just about extinct by now?
