Mutations are random, selection is not. In the monkey scenario, they could get as far as typing Hamlet up to the last paragraph and then make one mistake. Then they have to start all over again! Evolution by natural selection doesn't work that way. It is more like if the monkeys happen to get the first word right, then they no longer type anything in which the first word is not correct. Once they get the first paragraph right, then everything else they type will have the first paragraph correct. They do not start over from scratch.
Well what is telling the monkeys to stop after they get the first word right? This is supposed to random selection. By the nature of your argument, you are supposing an external force that is directing evolution onto a certain path? What natural force gave man dominion over the planet earth? Surely we are not the strongest creature, nor are the the swiftest and there are other creatures such as dolphins and whales and monkeys that have equivalent intelligence to us. |
