Accidental evolutionists suggest that it took the supposedly first single-celled creature possibly billions of generations to accidentally develop into multicellular creatures: just this one simple mutation. What about all the rest of the mutations? Apparently the assumption is that each progressive improvement took place in a stepped fashion.
Can cellular systems proceed with stepped progress? In other words, will complex organ systems make individual partial changes in tiny steps, accumulating these improvements at some point into the grandest of complex behavior? Since cellular systems work on an integrated basis we must assume any change would have to have occurred collaboratively. Did all these changes collaboratively happen accidentally?
Thus a basic contradiction exists between collaborative cellular behavior and eventually-drastic changes in organ and tissue behavior.
If we consider the various functional complexities of advanced organisms, while stepped mutation from one behavior to another could not be functional during transition phases, individual components could not change separately because they are each interacting with other components for overall functionality:

This might be compared to one man building the Empire State Building
This of course would allow for a continual functionality. Now consider how long it would take if we could only have one man form and put up each brick, make the mortar, but another man had to come in to do the next one, and each man didn’t know what a brick was, how to form one, how to make the mortar, nor where or how to lay the brick even if they figured out how to make one.
They each had to learn from scratch, with no teaching from the previous bricklayer. Can you imagine how long the building might take to build then? Most would conclude that if each man didn’t know how or what to do, through the lack of coordination and knowledge, the building simply would never get built. Or if it did, it would certainly collapse through a lack of planning, coordination and knowledge between bricklayers.

What accidental evolutionists propose is similar to the later case of the two: dumb chemistry accidentally kept building physical organisms one layer at a time. Somehow, through sheer luck, these dumb chemicals ended up building the incredible multi-cellular organisms we see around us today: Without purposeful collaboration we are left with scattered, disjointed random improvements. In the case of such a building, how could such a huge building be built without a collaborative plan and knowledgeable builders?
Consider if, as current accidental evolutionist thinking goes, just one accidental mutation could take between a million and a billion years to fully develop. This is only one mutation. The number of mutations it would take to get the amoeba to a human body is currently unknown but trillions of mutations would not be outrageous.
Using some genetic scientists’ calculations, consider the likelihood of only one accidental positive mutation occurring:

This is one progressive mutation. Among organisms, trillions of such single variations would have had to occur in order to accidentally create just a few progressive complex improvements. Consider that with each progressive mutation the complexity of the creature increases by only one small variation. This would be like saying that each single bricklayer not only didn’t know how to make or lay a brick, but the chances of them actually getting one brick in place was one chance in 103000. Could such a building ever get built with these incredible odds against it?
As we stack each progressive mutation necessary upon the other, the time required simply does not compute to a logical time frame—certainly not within the speculated age of the earth. Nor does it fit within the range given by fossil-dating of various species. This point has also been argued by a number of well-known accidental evolutionists, illustrated by the postulation of the directed panspermia theory, suggesting that possibly life was seeded on the earth from a distant planet because not enough time was available.

The fact is accidental evolutionists do not know how long these supposedly spontaneous accidental mutations might have taken. They do not know how long improvements developing into complex organs might take. This means quite simply that they are guessing.
