You are just repeating the point that was being argued against.
If the lifetime of the universe isn't enough to randomly produce Shakespeare, 3-4 billions of years are cute but useless to randomly produce anything even near as sophisticated as our 46 chromosome set.
I imagine Dawkins still just repeats the conjecture "but it's 3-4 billion years, anything can happen!"
- danparsonson 2y agoA work of Shakespeare is a single specific target, that's why it takes so long to hit it - one letter out doesn't cut it. DNA meanwhile is a general purpose animal kit that has many billions of 'correct answers'. It's not about sophistication.
- jdthedisciple 2y agoit's not about the absolute number of correct answers it's about the ratio of valid / invalid answers which is somewhere very close to 0
- danparsonson 2y ago[citation needed] What are the numbers?
