You forgot about the "enter" or "return" key on the keyboard. They also initiate the "post" button. Since there are two of these keys on a standard keyboard, the chances are increased quite dramatically. Of course he would have had to have clicked outside the text box to initiate this.

Good point. There is also the Anthropic Principle to consider too.
But I think the key to the problem really lies in the following thought experiment: if froggy were actually a monkey, and if we blindfolded this monkey, what is the probability that the monkey, through random key strokes, would type out the 23rd Psalm letter for letter? I think that is what we need to focus on.

Let's not sully up the conversation with anything approximating logic. Nor should the disciplines of mathematics, astronomy or any other field be allowed to shed any light on the narrowed study of evolutionary biology.
Its proponents claim it is right, regardless what any surrounding field may object; therefore, it must be right.

This life is only temporary. Our spiritual life is eternal. Where we spend eternity is up to us. But we can't make an intelligent choice unless we know what the choices are.
I speak so that people might know that they have the power to choose an eternity in heaven or an eternity in hell.
If nobody speaks about it, how will people know?

There are soooo many possibilities that you have negated. His pet monkey could have hit the post button after the peramedics had carried him out for one...
Originally posted by powershaker LOL! Boy, you are so very stupid! God's prophecies are being fulfilled right before your eyes. Russia and her Muslim allies are nearing attack of Israel. Iran has threatened to destroy Israel. The attack on Israel is imminent. It is God's Word! And, no one will come to Israel's defense. Only then will God intervene and show the children of Israel that God is with them, and He keeps His promises! Holy and Mighty is Jehovah!
That sounds remarkably similar to Islamic prophecies save for the fact that the Muslims will prevail, not the Jews.
How ironic indeed.
Is it so inconceivable that they could both be man made?
Who the heck cares anyway
