"Your typing-monkey link does not disprove the essential argument that any possible but improbable event can occur within a finite time. The length of the finite interval depends on the probability of the event, but as long as the probability is non-zero, the event WILL occur."

That's incorrect. A very low probability event will not occur in a finite period of time. In an infinite amount of time, yes, but not in a finite amount of time. The known universe has been around less than 17 Billion years. This is a finite, not an infinite, amount of time.

The MATH which supports my point and debunks your folklore in listed along with charts, equations, and calculations in the link provided for your convenience in Post #310.

Go forth and read it. You need it.

That just means that 17 billion years is not a sufficiently long finite period of time. What about 17 billion billion billion years?

In fact, the article says that the number of combinations is like 10^62. SO, how about a finite period of 10^70 years? That is a long time. But it is not infinite.
