That old saying about a thousand chimps with typewriters creating Shakespeare comes to mind.

Hello mates I was reading an article about future super-continents, here the link.

What strikes me as odd is why at the end there's this assumption:
>Whatever life has to cope with on the next supercontinent, humans won't be around to see it. The next supercontinent is no more than a glint in the planet's eye, but already it has valuable lessons to teach us: clever we may be, but the Earth marches on, with or without us.

I mean how do we know that humans wont be around 250 millions years into the future?
