I can say that whenever he speaks about biology his claims are an order of magnitude more inane than the usual ones I see made by others.

Is there a standard metric for inanity of biological claims?

Hmmm... we could define one.

We might need multiple axes though. One for thermodynamic implausiblity, one for dammit-thats-not-how-it-works-at-all / misapplication of programming concepts to chemistry, one for do-you-realize-how-complicated-what-you-just-suggested-is.
