I probably don't even need to say any of this but..

This site shows examples of a word going 10 mutations in 10 generations on a single line! This is ridiculous. Even one "successful" mutation takes a very long time. This is because many unsuccessful mutations occur too, they just die out quickly.

Also, I didn't read too far, but the site doesn't seem to account for the fact that a random change in the four-letter genetic language can't be compared to a 26-letter alphabet that has a completely different application. Yet this guy does math examples on the randomness of real english words.

It almost seems like he is writing this as deliberately misleading propaganda.
