99.9% may be right. When you think about it micro organisms outnumber us by far. I would venture to say that of the organisms alive today at least 95%+ have no backbone.
However the arguement is severely flawed. I fail to see what this has to do with arguing about evolution.
Whenever someone says "99.9% of something", I become suspicious. More often than not, it turns out to be a serious exaggeration, used mainly in support of rhetorical arguments.

Welcome to the world of Fred Williams. Fred is obsessed with evolution and doesn't mind speaking his mind, which doesn't take much time in some areas. In general, his arguments fall apart after the first salvo, particularly in the area of paleontology. I've had a few interesting confrontations with him, but he's cooled off the message boards in the last year or so.

Yeah, or when somebody "calculated the odds of evolution producing a human" to 5.61x10^7519.
