      Yeh if you’re defining nothing as a cascade failure.
      pre-implantation embryo loss is approximately 10-40% and that total loss from fertilisation to birth is approximately 40-60%.
      The failures in the genetic code are mostly flushed away.
      Cancer often starts with a genetic change as well. A more obvious cascade failure it’s impossible to imagine.

      @@salj.5459 Religious people who believe in creation and also deny evolution often use the Cambrian explosion as an example of something that is impossible and then claim that because it's not possible, it didn't happen.
      A definition of a miracle is something that is impossible and therefore god's doing because for him nothing is impossible.
      The cognitive dissonance is that they say that impossible things do happen, therefore god, but then also say that impossible/unlikely things don't happen or are more unlikely to happen than something impossible that god made possible and therefore evolution isn't true and therefore god is the more likely explanation.
      There's a lot more wrong with that line of reasoning, but the glaring contradiction is one of the things wrong with denying evolution because of the unlikelihood of so many species to evolve so rapidly and at the same time believing in miracles. One of the other things is obviously the misrepresenting of the Cambrian "explosion". It took millions of years and was only fast in comparison to the rest of evolution and therefore it wasn't unlikely at all but inevitable. Our world doesn't have constant circumstances, so there will be a difference in speed in evolution, so there will inevitably be a time when it's the fastest.

Imagine a person that is so widely known on the evolution denying side taking the time to learn what evolution actually is then becoming a force for it, that could be huge and profitable and the financial aspect is probably what it will take to sway him.
