Where did the random mutation come from? A mutation from life? How can

Hold on there. Your example is like finding a watch in the woods and
neglecting the fact that it's a watch and trying to explain how a scratch
got on its face. This goes back to my fish head example, yea you might be
able to explain away the missing head but where did the fish come from?
