Given infinite time a Monkey poking at a keyboard WILL produce Hamlet, in fact all of Shakespear, and every last shred of human knowledge and literature, and knowledge we've not yet acquired. That the probability of it happening in finite time is slim proves nothing. That the probability exists at all is much more compelling. Acutally that is an excellent point.
