Sorry.
I should have said;
"As anyone who has given it some thought knows -
given enough time and enough paint the Mona Lisa could
be produced by the random play of chimpanzees."
Yet another faith claim.😃

You realize that simply saying there was a beginning you have ruled out one of the choices.
How did you miss the stuff I put in brackets?!

Impossible to test this hypothesis.

The oldest complete copy dates from the 13th c. Only fragments survive from earlier times. Plenty of opportunities to redact, mistranslate, mis-copy, delete, add, etc.
After thinking about it this is still not a valid reason to disbelieve them for the reasons already stated, time and opportunities for corruption would be spotted due to the numbers scattered everywhere. Your possible cause here for not accepting them isn't as valid as you have made them out to be. Have you watched to lecture on all of the other reasons these are considered viable? There were several so called books that did looked like they were made up, didn't have the same level of authenticity those didn't make into the Bible.

Do you believe one stroke of paint can be randomly placed on a canvas?

Sure but to paint Mona Lisa requires some form of intelligent intervention and precision.

Would the baboons require any intelligence to paint this masterpiece of yours?

The painting analogy is always rather silly. You simply can't compare that to organic life and its evolution over time.

The question should be can randomly placed paint on a canvass form the Mona Lisa masterpiece without intelligent intervention. You require intelligence just to make the paint so your analogy already fails at the first hurdle.

A brush with paint on it could fall off something and hit it. You make that brush draw a picture or write a word than you have to have ID.

Painting is much simpler than a lifeform, if you cannot get a painting why would you think a lifeform could evolve over time, it wasn't like you were there to watch it happen?
