Evolution For Creationists Who Can Recite Jack & Jill

Okay! If you're still having a problem understanding evolution, try this mind experiment. It should only take a few minutes.



Imagine you have thousands of robots which have only three instructions:

1. If you can, step up.


2. Never step down.


3. Otherwise move in random directions.

Now, place those robots randomly in a landscape which includes hills and valleys, a bit like the one on the right, and leave them to wander around for a few months.





Now answer these two questions:

1. Where will your robots be when you go and look for them?


2. Will they still be randomly distributed in the landscape?

Correct answers win the Grand Old Duke Of York Award for understanding evolution.



For those few who still don't get it, I'll explain it in a few days.
