If at first you don't succeed... to the power of 3 x 10^158.AE86 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2017 12:51 pmI agree with your maths, and that is why I think it speaks towards a designer much more for the following reason.juansweetpotato wrote: More on the Infinite Monkey TheoremSpoiler:
You use the case "Banana.", and one thing to note here is that if you were simply extend that sentence (i.e.) this one, you would have a 112 character sequence." (excluding this part, capitalisation and spaces).
The longer the sequence gets, the chance of it being "correct" are exponentially less. So using your maths let's see where it takes us:
(1/26) x (1/26) x (1/26) x (1/26) xSpoiler:
...and you end up with 3 x 10^158.
Now there's only been 10^26 nanoseconds since the Big Bang (1 billion nanoseconds per second), so even if every nanosecond was dedicated to the random keystrokes by a now 14.7 billion year old monkey we're still off by a factor of 132 at forming even a 112 letter sentence, excluding capitalisation and spaces.
One short protein chain in DNA (excluding chirality "handedness") can consist of 150-200 amino acids, all of which need to assemble in a sequence specific manner, it is safe to say it is vastly more complex than a sentence of the English language on a Cambodian expat forum. So given the statistical absurdity (btw, 10^50 is statistically absurd) of a monkey typing a simple 112 character sentence, I find it much more believable that there was intelligence behind the design of the DNA in our bodies, just as I would never attribute the works of Shakespeare (or even this post for that matter) to the work of an infinite monkey powered text generating entity.
You mention theoretical maths, but DNA is already a physical reality just as people type readable sentences every day. Sure if we had close to infinite time and infinite monkeys (of which there's nowhere near enough evidence to even come close to arguing for such), we might reach a chance of something like a DNA molecule occurring. The point is though, just by observation we can see that is not the nature of where we live and exist in.
More on this later, I hope. Untill then I'll leave you with the, to me at least, brilliant idea of the universes being filled with an infinite amount of invisible monkey- gods. It would explain a lot.

And by all means keep up the discussion, I really enjoy this sort of thing honestly. It's a nice break compared to the recent slew of boringness I've seen come about.

Here's a new example of white terrorists. A guy living in Cardiff apparently. We don't know what his relgious affiliations are yet, or not. Just that he's a nutter that completely hates Muslims.AE86 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2017 11:48 pmThose are isolated over sensationalised incidences, and really don't compare to the atrocities radical Muslims are commiting, even in countries like the Philippines or Indonesia.juansweetpotato wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2017 11:26 pm Here's a couple.

Interestingly, it also talks about the crowd getting a bit punchy and kicky with the suspect. In fact, the police reakon the mob would have killed him;
“The driver jumped out and then he was pinned down to the floor and people were punching him and beating him, which was reasonable because of what he’s done. And then the imam of the mosque actually came out and said, ‘Don’t hit him, hand him over to the police, pin him down.’”
