funny thing is.... in your example above, there is still the YOU,

words onto the typewriter, thereby changing the environment and
increasing the odds of a sentence being formed.....
so I ask again.... who's you? 
perhaps..... God?
but as I'd said, time eternal, people greater than you and I had
debated on this, and there is no conclusion one way or another. We
feel about this issue because of what we embrace as "truth" and
"faith".

back to the topic...
The chance of a monkey banging randomly (without intervenion) on a
keyboard, resulting in words being formed .... yes, this is not
statistically impossible, the question is how many tries...
meaning, if a monkey is to just sit there banging on the keyboard
in a random fashion, after a while, one can definitely find some
words... of long enough, maybe a short sentence or two ...
question is... the monkey most likely may not understand what it
had just keyed in ... 
, and the
key word is... long enough ...
