Y'know, the other day I was walking along the beach and I came across this message scrawled in the sand: Joanie Loves Chachi. It was written in English, Welsh, Arabic, Japanese, Sanskrit and Esperanto. There was even a series of dots that I think was Braille. I was frankly astounded. I mean, can you imagine how long it took for the tide to come in and out, in and out, over and over again until that message was randomly and purposelessly etched into the sand. Oh come on! Who would even dream of that? Of course, someone wrote the message.
Give a roomful of monkeys with word processors enough time and they'll eventually tap out the Babylonian Talmud, right?
Then, looking through a microscope, I noticed a sub-cellular machine known as the bacterial flagellum. Very complex. Irreducibly complex. I wonder how long it took the blind and meaningless forces of nature to come up with that.
In my opinion, the views of microbiologist, Michael Behe, are much more reasonable.
