  Evolution is a Fact #27 - Monkeys, Typewriters, Shakespeare, 747s etc.

  most creationist arguments can be summarised as "complexity, complexity, complexity - therefore god".

  we have all heard the illustrations about the odds of (insert favourite example) evolving, being less than 10,000 monkeys typing macbeth by pure chance.

  evolution is not like that.

  Riley - Why are excess deaths 31% above average in the UK - week after week after week? Why is a similar picture being reported all over the world? Why are high rates of sudden death affecting all age groups?

  It's not the people asking the questions who are embarrassing.

  It's nice to know this evidence is still bugging you all these years later.

  Wow it took you six years to come up with that!

  It's just as if you have never read the OP.

  However to get just the first two words together “When Shall” the odds become exponentially more difficult.

  From the OP..

  Imagine our 10,000 monkeys randomly typing until one of them by pure chance comes up with "When.."

  At that point all the other pages are scrapped and every monkey is given a copy of this page. We observe some more until another monkey adds "shall.." and so on through thousands of iterations. How long would it take to achieve "When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain?" Completing the full play now becomes inevitable....

  The illustration is also misleading because it assumes there is an end product that we are hoping to achieve. This is sometimes referred to as the teleological fallacy. Evolution had no purpose in mind. It isn't trying to produce Macbeth or build a human. Whatever works is favoured by natural selection - from bacteria to beetles, it doesn't care.

  Top AI inventor Geoffrey Hinton reluctantly concluded that AI will probably humanity fairly soon

  geoffrey hinton, major inventor of artificial intelligence: .

  “if you take the existential risk seriously, as i now do—i used to think it was way off, but now i think it’s serious, and fairly close—it might be quite sensible to just stop developing these things any further, but i think it’s completely naïve to think that would happen.

  there’s no way to make that happen.

  Don't make me watch 40 minutes of some smart ass telling me 'the end is nigh'. I've had a lifetime of that shit. How will AI kill us all exactly?

  Bergman has passed lots and lots of examinations but in some areas he is a complete dolt.

  You will find it difficult to find others in academia who take him seriously.

  Sir Isaac Newton's date for the end of the World

  this uk newspaper carried a most interesting article about sir isaac newton.. apparently, as well as science, newton was interested in calculating the second coming of jesus and the end of the world, which he reckoned would happen in 2060.. https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/1760879/isaac-newton-doomsday-prophecy-imminent-apocalypse.

  I think Newton wrote more about theology than science. He had some far out beliefs.
