A DEFINITIVE REPLY
TO EVOLUTIONIST
PROPAGANDA
Yet evolutionists still hide behind the idea of time in the face of
such inconsistencies. This is the kind of claim they make: "Every
time the monkey touches the keyboard it has a one-in-26 chance of
hitting the right key. Once it has pressed the right key, this is chosen
as the right letter by natural selection. The errors it will commit over
the next letter are again chosen by natural selection. In this way,
over a period lasting millions of years, a monkey can indeed write
a history of mankind."
This is the logic that underlies all the time-related claims made
by evolutionists.
The fact is, however, that, as we have already stated, there is a
simple error in this position: There is no mechanism in nature to
identify and select which of the keys pressed by the monkey is the
right one! There is no consciousness which can say, "OK. This letter
is right, let's hold on to it and move on to the next stage."
Moreover, neither is there any monkey to touch the keys in na-
ture. That requires consciousness. The evolutionists' argument must
be that natural effects such as wind, rain, and earthquakes cause the
typewriter keys to move.
When we examine the scenario that the cell and all living struc-
tures have come about by chance in this more realistic light, we see
that we are actually dealing with nonsense. The idea that a single
cell emerged by chance—that is, that the millions of tiny coinci-
dences that form the building blocks of the cell occurred at random
in an ordered sequence—can be compared to the claim that a giant
city emerging solely by natural means, with no constructive force
behind it. Rain, earth, and heat would have to combine by chance to
form millions of bricks. Then these bricks would have to line up
side by side and one on top of the other, under the effects of such
things as wind, flood, and earthquake, to make houses, roads, and
pavements, as a result of which a whole giant city would eventually
emerge by chance.
If someone suggested such a thing to you, you would seriously
doubt that person's sanity. Would anything change if that person
