That link doesn't debunk the "million monkey" theorem. It merely points out that it is impractical as a way of going about things. Of course, as I pointed out earlier, that doesn't have anything to do with DNA or evolution. For anything involving chemistry, we are dealing with severely biased systems and the odds drop astronomically.

Oh please. That link DEMOLISHES your folklore. Can you even print the final calculation for probability? I bet that you didn't even read it to the end.

Folklore is that a million monkeys typing on a million keyboards for a million years will produce the collected works of Shakespeare. - Southack

"That wasn't folklore, it was a clever pedestrian description of the theorem." - tortoise

That's what you're trying to say when you claim that useful software programs can just form on their own in a computer if you leave it on long enough. - Southack

"Yes, that is what I'm trying to say. - tortoise

Except that the MATH in the link on Post #310 conclusively disproves what you are trying to say...
