This
illustration
often
used
is
the
one
that
the
monkey
and
the
typewriters_
OK
,
we
have
a
monkey
sitting
at
a
____________________
and
the
claim
here
is
basically
if
you
leave
chance
in
time
long
enough
you
will
get
life
.
Don't
worry
about
it
,
yes
,
its
strange
,
yes
it's
wonderful
,
but
leaves
enough
matter
600
million
years
on
earth
and
you
will
have
life
.
So
,
the
monkey
sitting
at
the
typewriter
:
the
____________________
are
eventually
he
produces
the
complete
works
of
Shakespeare
but
he
doesn't
manage
to
do
it
in
600
million
years_
So
what
I
decide
to
do
is
to
run
the
numbers_
I
instead
of
saying
typing
the
complete
work
of
Shakespeare
.
I
just
run
the
numbers
for
how
long
would
it
take
a
monkey
typing
one
key
____________________
a
second_
To
type
"
to
be
or
not
to
be
that
is
the
question
"
,
right
?
On
average
how
____________________
is
it
gonna
take
my
monkey
friend
one
____________________
a
second
.
Don't
know
how
you
think
it
would
be_
Maybe
you
could
have
a
guess
.
Would
it
be
less
or
more
than
600
million
years
,
which
is
the
period
life
on
earth
isn't
supposed
to
have
____________________
within
and
when
I
run
the
numbers
"
to
be
or
not
to
be
is
the
question
"
tikes
12
.
6
trillion
trillion
trillion
year
to
type
just
that
____________________
and
a
DNA
____________________
that
something
of
that
complexity
emerges
by
chance
undirected
within
600
million
years
?
Again
,
it's
mathematically
possible
but
it's
so
incredible
unlikely
that
it
would
have
that
it
tilts
me
in
favor
of
the
Christian
story
in
which
God
creating
life
,
simply
a
question
of
saying
let
that
be
and
there
was
.
