Take corn. Mutate the hell out of it. What do you get? New corn! Take a banana. Mutate it till your head hurts! What do you get? A new type of banana! Show me, where are the fossils of the transition organisms? ...There are none.

Mutation is shuffling and changing genes that already exist. Not adding more like evolution suggests.
as I said, it takes million years. And there are fossils of transition organisms, for example:


or more about transition of birds:

sorry, I have no time for searching in English, but you can have a look on pictures, without reading much Russian.

There is similar fossils for a lot of transition species.
First of all, you can't be sure that mutations cause a change of organism type, since it has never been observed. Have you watched for millions of years while organisms change from one thing to another? Doubtful. Your "factual" information is based on a hypothesis.

And secondly, bring that fossil into a courtroom. Lay it on a table and tell the judge, "This creature is a half-dinosaur, half-bird, and it is the great great great uncle, 4 million times removed, of all the humans on the earth." See how far you get. How do you know that creature had any children? And how do you know it can do something that no living thing can do today, and that is to produce something other than its kind.
