This is completely false. Even taking a very tiny fraction of the human genome, there are \( 10^{130} \) possible 100-amino-acid length proteins. This number of proteins could not possibly have all occurred, even assuming billions of years (see the perspective on chance). 1 For most genes, the number of possible base sequences is at least 41000, far too many to have all occurred by chance.
As an analogy, the simple 12-line poem “The Arrow and the Song” could not have been randomly generated by trillions of universes full of supercomputers over trillions of years (see a hands-on example). To claim that all possible mutations have occurred at least once in the history of the world is simply false.

Notes
- ReMine, 1993, p. 182: “… there are too many possible mutations for all to have ocurred at least once (much less many times over). There are 10^130 possible proteins merely 100 amino acid units in length, far too many to have all ocurred once (even over cosmic time-scales). Yet a 100 unit protein represents only a miniscule fraction of the genome.” ↩
