sudly said: Evolution is the accumulation of genetic changes that lead to adaptation and survival. Some mutations do not provide a benefit and so the organisms dies, sometimes the mutation does provide a benefit (e.g. thicker hair/stronger bones) and the animal does survive.
It's all apart of evolution.
mutation =/= death. genes have the potential to mutate, naturally or through external influence, multiple times within an individual's lifespan. saying that evolution is an accumulation means that any single individual mutation is not evolution, but two or more mutations qualifies. your logic is very difficult to follow.

Mutations can result in either a quicker death or adaptation for survival. Evolution is the long term result of genetic mutation and it results in speciation
Evolution occurs as new genes are made through animal mating.
Radiation might change the structure of DNA in an organism but an externally influenced physical mutation is unlikely to cause any benefit.

Gods word (the bible) stresses over and over again the importance of knowledge and understanding.
"Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed. By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
“As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.”
" A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools. Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. ... "

pick a definition and stick to it. first you say it's an accumulation, then you say it is long-term change resulting in speciation.
do you not see the difference in those things?
as well, mutations can also be neutral. they don't have to either result in 1) a quicker death, or 2) adaption for survival. there are other possibilities

Evolution is the accumulation of individual genetic mutations that lead to speciation over a long period of time.
If you want to learn the specifics you can look up the different forms of evidence for evolution or watch the video below.
And yes some mutations are benign though they can on occasion be made effective if specific secondary mutations occur.
