The Case for a Creator

We just got done watching Lee Strobel's "The Case for a Creator". We got it from Netflix because--let's face it--I can manage to sit down and watch a movie with the girls for 60 minutes, but tackling the whole book that this movie is based on is just not going to happen any time soon. I just have too many books on backlog right now, and I'm in the middle of "The Cosmic Code: Quantum Physics as the Language of Nature". Sigh. THAT will take me FOREVER to finish, but it's my goal.

But do not fear, this post is not about Strobel's compelling arguments that suggest intelligent design based on laws and coded structures found in our universe and cellular biology. Rather, this post is about a funny response Belle had to one of the illustrations about chance and genetic coding.

It is a somewhat hackneyed illustration made by those against intelligent design. It suggests that even a room full of monkeys typing, if given enough time (as the argument goes in this case, billions of years), would be able to turn out a literary masterpiece like Shakespeare's Hamlet or Tolstoy's War and Peace thanks to Madam Chance.

Instantly my quick thinking Belle said loudly in a protesting tone, "That's impossible!! They would all be dead!!".
