That doesn’t look random at all

I heard some ID believer say that “the probability that humans have emerged from natural selection is the same as the probability that a monkey composes ‘Hamlet’ by randomly typing on a keyboard”.

Well, I happen to have a monkey (Sheila) that likes to type at random on a keyboard. And today she typed this (see the attached picture).

Evidence!

    @Paris – Speaking as a pastafarin, I do not care what you believe. If you want to be part of a negative religion, go for it.
    I will gladly engage in thoughtful banter about almost any topic, but I will not try to “convert” you. Or does pointing out conflicts in doctrine constitute an effort to convert?

    Pointing out differences is what makes the world go around.
    Trying to tell someone what you believe is right, and what they believe is wrong.
    Is being a Fundamentalist for what you believe.
    .
    History has shown, I’ve been a Pastafarian for awhile now.

    The true Pastafarian knows that FSM was created to fight Fundies,
    not to infringe on other faiths.

    To Paris Hilton… even though you are HAWT, you are wrong about all Fundies being the same. We Pastafarians go by the FSM’s teachings, which are (in my words) “If you want to believe in me, cool, and if you don’t want to believe in me, that’s cool, too.” Have you read the Gospel? Pastafarians don’t force their beliefs on anyone! That is very different from the Christian fundamentalists’ M.O.
    .
    So I think you better just go back to jail for insulting us. You can be HAWT there again.

    Actually I agree with you there Paris of the FSM. According to Richard Dawkins, religion is some kind of warped left over that evolution still hasn’t had a chance to get rid of. He attributes it to the same kind of process that goes on with moths when they fly into a flame. They haven’t evolved enough to be able to distinguish between light that will guide them home, to light that will fry them. So the instinct is still there, but it is very dangerous to them if they get tangled with the wrong kind of light. Religion in people is sort of like a left over vestige of something that had helped mankind survive a million years ago. So we have advanced technologically but evolution is slow. So people have a tendency to get all fundemental about shite when it is near and dear to them.
    Can you say that there are a bunch of fundies on this site…probably not. But we may want to ask that question again in a few years if the evening News is all about hordes of swaggering, cutlass swinging Pirates, giving the local population the choice to either convert to the Pastafarian Way or walking the plank.

    Actually, as long as I’ve been here, I can say yes.
    There are some who take this too far already, not many but some.
    I tend to believe in the core values that made the FSM.
    i.e. FSM vs Kansas, in that one is no better then the other.
    Some seem to lose track of that, sad really.

    Another readable book…which IMHO…should be on the ‘Must Read’ material for all school children, all over the world, is The Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan. Who, by the way, should be considered an Honorary Pirate and Pastafarian of the Pope-ish rank. Mankind, which includes us poor misunderstood Pastafarian types, will soon become extinct if we don’t start training ourseles and our children to get our collective heads out of our asses and stop with the believing in fairy tales, witches, wizards, goblins, god(s), crystals, info-mercials, tarot cards, horoscopes, Tom Cruise’s sanity etc.

    Paris – I have agree with you about some having gone too far.
    But that is the same with every group. There are tons of examples, just look at the soccer matches for one. Humans are social or group animals. Groups mean outsiders. Some groups are easy to get into, some are hard. Some try to convert you, some ignore you, and some with just shove a cutlass in your buttocks.

    Oh I just had to share this with everyone…it’s greeaaattttt!

    Atheists have too many university diplomas! These folks are chock full of secular knowledge. They toss the Bible aside in favor of so-called, “research” and “theories.” They spend their days studying and trying to gather facts and data to support their ridiculous scientific theories, such as evolution and gravity. Don’t let it fool you, Christian Brothers and Sisters! All the secular knowledge in the world can’t disprove that the reason we are all here today was because Eve got some bad advice from a talking snake! Atheists are too full of their silly “logic” to understand that only blind faith leads to sighted Truth. Why, the homo-lovers in England have already accepted that most scientists are naturally Atheists. Don’t let it happen in America! Report your Biology professor – or any so-called teacher who pollutes the soul with extraneous (non-Biblical) information — to the local authorities before he recruits your child!

    That silly bunch is always blathering on about theories and testing things. Really what they should do is ask god if their theoretical structure will stand up to the forces, then go to bed and wait for god to answer the question in their dreams, if the answer is ‘go for it’, then curtail the costly testing part and build it. And if they really, really believe (and of course pray hard enough) they should be good to go. What a money saver!

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did.
