The guy made up those numbers out of whole cloth based upon his beliefs; Garbage in = Garbage out.

Also evolution is not "random". Mutation is random. Evolution is through natural selection.

Just because a mechanism is random does not mean the process is 'by accident'. According to quantum theory the formation of matter is random; but given the conditions of the universe formation of matter is inevitable. Something that is inevitable is not 'by accident'.

According to mutation theory, change in DNA is random; but given the conditions of life on earth, evolution through natural selection is inevitable. Something that is inevitable is not 'by accident'.

For example during an ice age rabbits would, over successive generations, eventually match their background with white fur. Now the process that brought this about would be through random mutation of the genes that supplied color to the rabbit fur pelt; but given the survival advantage of being white against a snowy background, the outcome would be inevitable.

Lastly 'Intelligent' Design is not a Scientific theory, it is philosophical posturing. Just because I share the underlying philosophy that the universe was created does not mean that I have to accept a gussied up philosophy as if it were a falsifiable theory that helps to observe and predict the universe. Even if ID were 100% true, it doesn't change the fact that it is 100% useless for observing and predicting the universe.
