- Monkeys plus Eternity equals What?
You may have heard a defender of Materialism suggest the notion that random results plus enough time could easily produce order.
This is a typical assertion, defending the idea that given enough time, it is reasonable to believe that the chemicals in the priobiotic soup could eventually form DNA…
They sometimes use an alliteration using monkeys and typewriters, that given enough time they could write the complete works of Shakespeare.
Well, it appears that someone has taken them up on their challenge.
Hilarious

Anyway, one of my normal responses is: "Why wouldn't they just produce an infinite amount of gibberish?" Not to mention that eternity in the cosmos is impossible, or that someone has to have a 'mind' above the fray to 'understand' that the works have 'value', but this is maybe more to the point
Enjoy
Grace and Peace
