Nature doesn't either. It tries something. If it works, then it continues; if it doesn't, it tries something else.

And thus x amt of monkeys were able to randomly recreate the works of Shakespeare.

Monkeys know better.

PS: And I'm so framing your comment! It's priceless.

A programmer should, by that logic, see the complexity of God and see that He cannot be the product of chance.

Perfect, omnipotent beings don't just appear by chance. Where did He come from?

There's no beginning or end my friend. There is no time. It's just a limitation for us before eternal life. Who'd want to live forever? It's like the 9 month in the mother's womb.

That's where human logic fails and leads you places you don't want to go. And when there's no time, the entire concept of causality (creation hence existence) just fades away.

Alternatively, a programmer can see the seeming complexity that emerges from many, many permutations of seemingly simple operations and extrapolate that over millions of generations to consider how, perhaps, we're all just the result of simple compounds joining and rejoining in a trillion different ways.
