1 in N probability is enough if the event happens (no matter how large N is),
No one can count the number of mutations that are so harmful that they never get expressed in the population.
Natural selection occurs inside our bodies. Any mutations that don't kill before we pass on our genes has a chance to survive in the population regardless of whether it serves a purpose or not.

“I picked up this book as I have interest in evolution and I believe Darwinism can't explain all of it. (However I haven't read the previous book by the same author talking about something similar).

The book is interesting and the examples are simple and easy to follow. Few years that I spent in biology made the subject matter easier for me. However i don't believe it is necessary to know biology to read this book.
The book establishes the fact very well that Darwinism is not the answer to all evolutionary questions. It however gets into trouble in the second half not because of the author but because no further discoveries have been made which can be talked about. If not Darwinism then what? I felt cheated in the end when the author started dwelling on 'intelligent design theory' as it seemed like the easiest thing to do. (Eventually intelligent design may be the theory behind evolution but it sounds hollow and unconvincing (less convincing than Darwinism) today).
Overall a good book to sensitize you to the unplugged loopholes in the evolutionary theory.Bear with the intelligent design part, the author could have done nothing else about it. ”
