bumuming the average human lifespan is 80 years, and your “9 day” generational time is correct, that’s a scale of roughly 3,245:1

transitional Archaeopteryx to “true” birds took seventy million years, which would mean if precedent holds it would take roughly 21,500 years for a 9 day generation-span organism to evolve similarly

granted this isn’t the best comparison ever but the point is it’s a matter of scale, you are not going to see mbumive changes in anatomy (bone structure, etc) over 50 years in a lab.

That is physically impossible. To illustrate just how impossible it is, imagine this: on the ground are all the materials needed to build a house (nails, boards, shingles, windows, etc.). We tie a hammer to the wagging tail of a dog and let him wander about the work site for as long as you please, even millions of years. The swinging hammer on the dog is as likely to build a house as mutation-natural selection is to make a single new working part in an animal, let alone a new creature.

that’s sort of arbitrary tbh, and reveals a misunderstanding of how evolution works, it is not fundamentally random

But mutations and natural selection do not show gain in information, just rearrangement or loss of what is already there — therefore there may be beneficial mutations without an increase in genetic information.
