A quote from an anonymous thinker. "How many Silver-back gorillas would be required, and how long would it take to train 1 of the gorillas to sit at a piano and play Beethoven's 5th Symphony?"

Clearly a matter of vital import to residents of W4.

Trick question. You'd need considerably more instruments than one piano to perform Beethoven's 5th. A cannon or two would also be nice.Anyway it's well-known that gorillas much prefer Chopin.

I pressed "send" too soon, I meant to say "a cannon or two would be nice then they could have a go at the 1812".......
I believe it of importance to everyone in Chiswick and elsewhere. If Silver-back gorillas were created and not a matter of evolving through pure chance, then the theory of evolution is just that - a theory.

Forget Beethoven then. How long would it take to train a Silver-back gorilla to learn to play the piano and perform the piano playing tune at the start of Bohemian Rhapsody?
Too deep for me. Isn't this just a variation on the chimpanzees/typewriters-complete works of shakespeare Shakespeare thing?
Yes,same sort of thing but just highlighting how absurd the theory of evolution is.
I think I'll leave you to it.
I seem to have woken up in a parallel universe this morning.

All I can say is that it seems that some of us have evolved more than others.

Or created with higher intelligence.
"Created" by whom?And why, then, the differentiation between levels of intelligence?
Isaiah 40v26. “Lift up your eyes to heaven and see.Who has created these things?It is the One who brings out their army by number;He calls them all by name.Because of his vast dynamic energy and his awe-inspiring power,Not one of them is missing."And the differentiation between levels of intelligence is that if there is a creator he has the right to decide the levels.
"Because of his vast dynamic energy and his awe-inspiring power"Sounds like OVO to me. Do they have the right to decide the levels ?
This thread reminds me of the 'Infinite number of chimps'sketch by Bob Newhart

I hadn't heard of Bob Newhart before but just googled and listened to the sketch. It really does show the absurdity of the theory of evolution.

Knew what was coming?
Your chosen quotation or something in a similar vein, I should imagine.

Please keep any eye out. Much loved and missed.

I'm lost there?

Should be easy to find though, just follow the screaming.

<br /> I believe this disproves the existence of Neil Milkins.
