Exactly MOST changes are fatal, but NOT all, some have slight side
effects. You are also right, significant changes can't happen, in a
single generation, but little ones can and do, and are observed, these
little changed may or may not make the organism more fit for its
environment.

Have you any conception of the timescales the process of evolution has
been taking place over ?

This is not correct. Most mutations have no effect whatever. Most of them
are in non coding regions. Even most mutations to coding regions cause no
appreciable phenotypic change.
