So we got 472 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,647 a one-celled organism, an A. 473 00:19:42,648 --> 00:19:43,882 OK. 474 00:19:43,883 --> 00:19:46,686 Well, the computer is going to generate a new letter 475 00:19:46,687 --> 00:19:49,622 and it's going to compare that against and see if it gets 476 00:19:49,623 --> 00:19:52,024 a capital M because it's looking for a capital M. 477 00:19:52,025 --> 00:19:53,859 And it gets an O. It says no, throw it away. 478 00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:54,927 It goes again. 479 00:19:54,928 --> 00:19:57,362 It randomly generates another mutation. 480 00:19:57,363 --> 00:19:58,797 It's a P. Throw it away. 481 00:19:58,798 --> 00:20:01,066 And then it comes up with a capital M finally. 482 00:20:01,067 --> 00:20:05,137 And it mutates that A into an M. So now, we've got an M. 483 00:20:05,138 --> 00:20:07,372 But it keeps on generating mutations. 484 00:20:07,373 --> 00:20:12,344 And we come across, finally, after about 25 tries, a small e. 485 00:20:12,345 --> 00:20:15,414 So now it appends that onto the M. 486 00:20:15,415 --> 00:20:17,416 Now we got a two-celled organism. 487 00:20:17,417 --> 00:20:19,886 It spells M-E. And it continues that 488 00:20:19,887 --> 00:20:22,087 whole process until it spells out, 489 00:20:22,088 --> 00:20:24,056 methinks it is like a weasel. 490 00:20:24,057 --> 00:20:27,927 And then the program just stops. 491 00:20:27,928 --> 00:20:29,461 And your point? 492 00:20:29,462 --> 00:20:32,231 My point? 493 00:20:32,232 --> 00:20:34,934 First of all, the computer knows the answer. 494 00:20:34,935 --> 00:20:38,204 It knows where to drop in every one of those letters 495 00:20:38,205 --> 00:20:40,739 and knows when to stop. 496 00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:43,109 Natural selection doesn't have any intelligence 497 00:20:43,110 --> 00:20:45,644 to make such a decision. 498 00:20:45,645 --> 00:20:48,281 You know, it doesn't know what the goal is. 499 00:20:48,282 --> 00:20:49,849 In fact, it doesn't understand goals. 500 00:20:49,850 --> 00:20:50,949 It doesn't have any understanding. 501 00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:52,317 It doesn't have any intelligence. 502 00:20:52,318 --> 00:20:54,987 It don't know squat. 503 00:20:54,988 --> 00:20:58,257 You know, it doesn't have any brakes either 504 00:20:58,258 --> 00:21:01,394 and can't start mutations, and much less stop them. 505 00:21:01,395 --> 00:21:04,329 So in real life, if you've got to have mutations happening, 506 00:21:04,330 --> 00:21:06,231 there's nothing to stop them, we could 507 00:21:06,232 --> 00:21:10,002 end up with a sentence, methinks Richard Dawkins is a weasel. 508 00:21:10,003 --> 00:21:14,974 You know, this whole analogy is a logical hot mess. 509 00:21:14,975 --> 00:21:16,909 But when Richard Dawkins trots out 510 00:21:16,910 --> 00:21:18,911 his little dog and pony show, people 511 00:21:18,912 --> 00:21:21,146 like you stand up and cheer. 512 00:21:21,147 --> 00:21:25,151 And if someone like me says, you know, the emperor doesn't have 513 00:21:25,152 --> 00:21:29,354 any clothes on, we get laughed out of Dodge City 514 00:21:29,355 --> 00:21:31,256 like we're some kind of idiots. 515 00:21:31,257 --> 00:21:33,592 You know, I don't know enough about computers to doubt 516 00:21:33,593 --> 00:21:34,927 or even criticize Dawkins. 517 00:21:34,928 --> 00:21:36,127 Oh, how convenient. 518 00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:37,262 Well, I do. 519 00:21:37,263 --> 00:21:39,231 In fact, out of curiosity, I wrote 520 00:21:39,232 --> 00:21:41,232 a program to do exactly this. 521 00:21:41,233 --> 00:21:43,236 It took me 17 minutes. 522 00:21:43,237 --> 00:21:45,237 Runs on my PC in less than a second. 523 00:21:45,238 --> 00:21:47,906 It took about 8,000, on average, mutations 524 00:21:47,907 --> 00:21:49,676 to spell out the whole phrase. 525 00:21:49,677 --> 00:21:51,611 Am I supposed to be impressed with that?
