The 'mutations' have to be inheritable through mating for a new species to develop.I get the general idea that certain "mutations" have to occur with one organism to change their species, but what about mating?
Well?

I think your terminology may be confusing you. In any case...how did a single cell critter, give birth to a multicellular and why would that creature give birth to something that would eat it?
Mutations are not required. What you need is isolation. If a mountain rises and splits a population into two, over time natural variations will change the two populations in different ways. Given enough time the two populations will not interbreed, even if the mountain is removed. Bingo, two species.Well?

Dogs can be bred for traits. We know dogs came from wolves. Wolves and dogs can still breed because they haven't diverged far enough. The biggest wolf can be bred with the smallest chihuahua. Obviously through artificial insemination. Keep it going for another million years and eventually, they won't be able to breed.
Instead of us doing the manipulation, the environment forces the adaptation. It's not a question of a new species developing, it's a single species diverging.
The transitions are all through nature. Why a donkey and a horse can mate, but they have diverged so far, the result is a mule which most of the time is sterile. Typical among species that have diverged. The offspring being mules in the sense of a lack of fertility.
Usually Republicans come up with "kind". A kind of cat can mate with another kind totally ignoring genetics and how chromosomes actually align.
The donkey and horse have a common ancestor but have diverged. They can still mate and produce viable offspring but there enough genetic difference that the offspring are sterile. What you're seeing is a snapshot in the process of the formation of new species (donkey and horse).if a Mule is sterile, how are we led to believe that mutations can lead to another species that can reprodue?
It happened long long ago when life was young. Life turned into all the life you see now but don’t expect any new species unless you have a billion years to wait and seeWell?

Traveling backward back in time, each species ability to produce viable offspring with an ancestor of its line decreases, as a general rule. Should you travel back in time 10,000 years, you would probably do fine to have a baby with an "ancient human".. 100,000 years? Again, kids might usually live. 1 million years? Probably not so much.if a Mule is sterile, how are we led to believe that mutations can lead to another species that can reprodue?

And that is one of my questions.
if a Mule is sterile, how are we led to believe that mutations can lead to another species that can reprodue?
I'm mainly interested in real science, which is observation.
Have any new species been observed to have come about by the claimed scientific explanations?
You don’t get to ask that question. Right now NASA has plans to send probes to Europa and three other places where the three things necessary for life I think it was water energy and biology....Well?

Ridiculously false...it is supported by all of the evidence, and all of the evidence is mutually supportive. So, if you are "taking it on faith", then you know less than nothing about this topicAh yes, the unobserved theory.
I'll just take in on faith.
You just sit around waiting for Armageddon. Meanwhile these scientists you doubt are looking for incoming meteors and will hopefully one day delay gods will and divert it because your prayers wontIt happened long long ago when life was young.

hey, do you sharpen axes so other people can split hairs?how did a single cell critter, give birth to a multicellular and why would that creature give birth to something that would eat it?
Cells don't give birth, they divide. One would think the simplest idea for "the first time" is that a cell divided ,as did another, and their progenies got together and functioned together.

While this is a general rule, you should get the idea.
