Remember the example of a Rubik’s Cube. If a human were handed a cube and blindfolded this individual would need 1,350 billion years, at a rate of one move per second to solve the cube; and this is with only 54 color panels and six colors ®. Therefore, the odds against producing a move with the correct color match are (50 Quintillion) 50,000,000,000,000,000,000 to 1.
At first glance the oxymoron and cube don't seem very complex, much less do they seem to present much of a challenge. However, when you start to analyze the mathematical complexity of these things, their exceptional complexity becomes obvious. Now consider the following two pictures, both of which appear exceptionally complex at first glance, intimating that they are far more complex than the oxymoron or the cube.
Could a bunch of monkeys in a room full of typewriters or computers recreate the works of Shakespeare? For this example let's reduce the keyboard to only 30 keys, specifically A-Z (upper case only), that is (26), plus space , (comma) . (period) ; (semi-colon) (4) totaling 30 keys. Also let us assume that a monkey will randomly press keys. Now let us take just one small oxymoron from Romeo and Juliet.
P A R T I N G I S S U C H S W E E T S O R R O W
For the P there is one chance in 30 that a monkey will press the "P" key.
Then there is again one chance in 30 that the monkey will press the "A" key. The odds of pressing a "PA" are 30 X 30 or one chance in 900, and so forth and so on.

Therefore, the odds of one monkey sitting at a keyboard with only 30 key combinations and typing the oxymoron, "PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW" is one chance in 229 duodecillion (a duodecillion is a one followed by 39 zeros). A million monkeys with keyboards could never come close to completing even one sentence written by William Shakespeare. Specifically, if one million monkeys pressed one key every second 24 hours a day seven days a week for a year it would take 7,261,542,360,000,000,000,000,000,000 (7.26 Octillion) years to randomly type this one simple phrase.
GENESIS 2:7 - AND THE LORD GOD FORMED MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND, AND BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; AND MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL.
All of these scientists professed a belief in God.
DNA
Back to the monkeys and Shakespeare for a moment.
The average word contains 5.5 letters which yields 4,865,558.5 letters and adding for spaces and punctuation this could be approximated to be at least 5,000,000 characters. So what number is 30 to the 5 millionth power?
Granted that intellectually it seems plausible; however, mathematical probability refutes these philosophical organizational scenarios.
TO BE OR NOT TO BE, THAT IS THE QUESTION
1 chance in 1.2157665e+59
1 chance in 122 Octodecillion
1 chance in 121,576,650,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
DNA is inordinately more complex than the sum total of Shakespeare's written work.
Mathematical probability indicates that
chance, necessity and accidental occurrence
couldn't even create bacteria.
