[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 232863, member: 221"] Because the Monkey concept ignores certain realities of probability. And your pi example is flawed because while a monkey might randomnly type out five letters in sequence that make sense, the probability of typing out a whole book is so improbable as to be impossible. Your program would for instance, to perform a similar task, (taking into account the fact there are only 10 numerical symbols and at least 40 symbols, including letters, numbers, periods, quotation marks, etc.) have to produce a number of pi that had four times as many symbols in it as the whole of War and Peace. It is simply not going to happen. Furthermore, it is generally accepted in probability that when a pattern shows evidence of design, it is not a random pattern. However in the end it is a matter of faith. Those that accept evolution as fact have to accept by faith that anything is possible given enough time and those of us who believe in design don't.
