God Designed Bananas Just For You and Me

[Skwim]

I lifted this ten year-old video from a recent thread of mine because it illustrates the creationist mindset and may not be familiar to everyone. That, plus it's so stupid it's funny.

Ray Comfort,a Christian creationist and televangelist, uses a banana to slap evolution in the face in an excerpt from his Way of the Master television show.
Comfort offers up the "ironclad argument" that bananas are proof of god's intelligent design of the world because "bananas and the hand are perfectly made, one for the other."

...and don't even get me started on kumquats...

 

[Daemon Sophic]

I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'
`But,' says Man, `The Banana is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'
`Oh dear,' says God, `I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly disappears in a puff of logic.
`Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
-- Douglas Adams

Of course, many people will say that the banana is in the form it is because of a long history of human intervention. Wild bananas have numerous seeds whereas those grown for human consumption seem to have been designed and molded into the form that we see.

Of course, that's silly. It postulates that bananas were intelligently designed.

It can be eaten AND used as a marital aid. Perfect design.

He is opening the banana from the wrong end. The other end is the end that opens cleanly. If you 'Pop the tab' like he does then you will usually get squishy banana on your fingers.

That's why God designed napkins. They are the perfect shape and material to wipe off banana.

You can't help but admire Rays stuff upper lip.

Yep. I don't think he knew much about bananas in any sense when he made this video.

Never in my life have I seen Christianity placed so perfectly in such an appealing package...must be the work of god...

Seriously, it isn't appealing enough.

Monkeys eat bananas too, so God made bananas for monkeys, knowing they would eventually evolve into humans. Checkmate theists!

"Comfort was born December 5, 1949, in New Zealand to a Jewish mother and a father whom he has described as "a Gentile [who] was open to the things of God". According to Comfort's autobiography, his parents put "Methodist" on his birth certificate because his mother feared the possibility of "another Hitler", but he was given no religious instruction as a child. Comfort identifies himself as both Christian and Jewish. According to Comfort, he was in the top class of his high school in Christchurch, where he attained a School Certificate, the certificate awarded for completing Fifth Form (Year 11) examinations. He did not pursue higher education.

In 1989, Comfort accepted an invitation to join the pastoral staff at the non-denominational Calvary Chapel in Southern California.

In the mid-1990s Comfort persuaded Kirk Cameron, star of the cancelled hit sitcom Growing Pains, to become an evangelist. The pair formed an organization called The Way of the Master, with the intention of teaching the church to more effectively preach the message of evangelical Christianity."

Actually, bananas were made by Satan as sex toy. They are even shaped like Satan's horns, among other things.

I always thought Satan's horns resemble steering columns off '53 Chevy Pick-Ups.

The stupidity of people's superstitions never cease to amaze me!

Ray Comfort is in the forefront of such idiocy.

Ha!

You guys should watch the video of him debating a Youtube atheist... it's super old. It takes about 30 minutes before he realizes he's backed himself into a philosophical conundrum by using his own logic to FINALLY understand speciation. To his credit, he's used the "MICRO-evolution..." spiel ever since.

Yes, God designed banana, so that we can trip and fall.
