Can Life Evolve at Random?
I've often heard scientists on TV say that life evolved randomly from non-life. I used to believe this. Then I started asking myself if this was actually possible. Can a life form really emerge from random events? Suppose you placed a computer in a monkey's cage and keep it there throughout the monkey's life. Now let's keep it there for the monkey's offspring, and future generations of monkeys also. If the monkeys hit the keyboard at random, what is the likelihood that through this random process of hitting the keys, eventually a masterpiece, like the Shakespeare play Hamlet, would emerge? Impossible, you say? Now consider the fact that a life form is obviously more complex than a Shakespeare play. So what do you think is the probability that life forms can emerge from random events?
