The monkeys and the typing were just a visual idea of infinitely randomised trials. You would need an infinite number of bananas to feed them. Just too expensive to do.
Matter by doing an infinite number of trials will inevitably lead to life on any planet with constant liquid water and a 'sun'.
The only 'proof' I have is that we are here. All of our biological cellular functions were worked out by trial and error with evolution by primitive bacteria starting about three billion years ago and still doing it today.
We are all assemblies of these cells that somehow cooperate.
Our real delusion is that thinking we are at all unique in having 'intelligence'. We are all polluting space ship Earth to the point where our long term very survival is doubtful.
We are entering a mass species extinction era of our own making.
Paradise lost comes to mind.
