John Stanford's book can only be considered as purposeful piece of disinformation
Only by those who refuse to see the truth that mutations go the wrong way for evoluton to work.
Perhaps John had never heard of neutral mutations, linked genes, exon and gene duplication, silencing, epigenetics or a bunch of other things that totally invalidate his argument. if he was a high school student I might believe that. but his early publication record and history show he should have known about all these things. He didn't argue them away, he just ignores them and presented an argument he knows is false, which is clearly not supported by observational or experimental data.
John knew about the molecular genetics you mention. But he got religion and he willingly put on the blinders on himself.
God, by Biblical definition, is perfect and what he created could not be anything but perfect.
Anything changed from the original perfection by definition has to be bad.
Makes calculating frequency of deleterious mutations a whole lot easier. No Chinese calculus required.
No one has to wonder why his former colleagues dismiss his writings on ID as pseudoscience.
