If I am remembering the reasoning properly, the monkey/typewriter/Shakespeare analogy is backwards.
Words organized into a dictionary are considered to have LESS entropy, and words picked from a dictionary and arranged as in paragraphs and sonnets and treaties and limericks and directions etc. have MORE entropy.
So use of the monkey/typewriter analogy by the creationists is fucked up from the get go.
