Scientific American

But in the 1980s Richard Hardison of Glendale College wrote a computer program that generated phrases randomly while preserving the positions of individual letters that happened to be correctly placed (in effect, selecting for phrases more like Hamlet's). On average, the program re-created the phrase in just 336 iterations, less than 90 seconds. Even more amazing, it could reconstruct Shakespeare's entire play in just four and a half days.

This is adequate evidence that your argument is in shambles. You bring me into your argument in which I have no interest. You attack me and not your debating opponent like some witch doctor piercing a voodoo doll. Your scholarship, if conducted the way you have this argument, is suspect.

Aaaah a double concession! You cannot refute either what cornelis or AndrewC say so you insult them both. This crass, ungletemanly, unscientific form of concession to an argument seems to be the preferred mode of concession by evolutionists.
