Can't speed up nature
We can, with computers. Well, maybe not today, not at the atomic level, but quite possible in a few decades.

Lenski and his colleagues have been working on that too, with the Avida platform (https://doi.org/10.1038/nature01568). Although that was 20 years ago and I haven't heard much from it lately, so I don't know how active this still is.
Eg I can fly to Hong Kong. Not today, because I haven't booked a flight and it's getting late, but probably in the next few days, if I really wanted to. You'd say that I "can't"?
It is not currently feasible for anyone to speed up or simulate nature in silico.
These are quite different positions, the idea that you would equivocate them frankly is bizarre
