> other very improbable events (evolutionary DNA change)

Sorry, I don't understand this part.

Are you suggesting that evolution is a "very improbable event"?

Among serious scientists evolution is already settled and beyond dispute.

I don't see any basis for an argument if you're suggesting that.

Denying evolution belongs to religion, not science.

No, they are referring to the fact that the events that lead to permanent changes in the genome are extremely rare- the vast majority of mutations are not fixed.
