Monkey Business!

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Patrick Glynn in his book “God: The Evidence” mentions that the atheistic philosophers Denis Diderot and David Hume advanced the idea that given infinite time, nature would by chance alone eventually hit on the order we see around us.  Glynn points out that the modern version of the argument often takes the form of an analogy: Given infinite time, a monkey with a typewriter would eventually type the works of Shakespeare.  He goes on to show the absurdity of this atheistic concept.  Remember that with God, nothing is left to mere chance.  Everything you encounter today, everything you eat every person you meet every breath you breath, every word you speak, every blade of grass you walk on is the result of a world created with unimaginable balance and forethought.  Step into God’s world today and honor him in everything you do.

    And, I always want to ask them to show me some/any evidence that such a thing as a monkey typing the works of Shakespeare is in the process of happening! Somehow, I never seem to get a chance. Wonder what they’d say?
