It doesn't work. Simple logic shoots them down, thanks to the coordination problem. If you believe the current theory, then all wonderful complexities of life are nothing but the accumulation of chance events- a bunch of genetic accidents strung together. Yet when we look closely at animals, it appears as if many elements must have evolved simultaneously. Take bats, which have echolocation - they navigate by sound. To do that, many things must evolve.
