I have looked over some of it. After the introduction, it opens with some marvelling at the fundamental properties of the universe without actually explaining how this is evidence of anything, and then expresses astonishment that life happens to exist upon a planet that happens to be able to support it, bringing forth a spotlight fallacy and an argument from incredulity in essentially the same point.

After reading a bit further, I see an attempt to retrofit a reading of Genesis I with current astronomy and astrophysics, followed by an attempt to discredit the theory of evolution first by calling it an "unproven theory" -- even though all theories are unproven by definition, and never can be proven -- and then falsely claiming that it makes claims regarding the origin of life. That they inaccurately link the origin of life with the theory of evolution strongly suggests that they have not studied biology sufficiently to comment on the subject. There is also a bit of information on the fossil record, completely ignoring the existence of other lines of evidence for evolution (such as genetic evidence across species).
I will look over the document more thorougly tomorrow and comment on the more glaring and obvious errors.
