Bananas: The Scourge of Athiesm Everywhere

This is a video by evangelist preacher Ray Comfort (which MUST be his real name) that uses the existence of bananas as clear proof that there must be a God of some kind, since there could be no fruit more perfectly designed for human consumption than the banana. Go ahead and watch it, it's pretty amusing.

The argument, on the surface, makes sense. If God didn't create the Earth and all its inhabitants, then why do things like bananas, which are incredibly convenient to eat and grow, exist in the first place? Why isn't the world covered in spiky death-fruit?

Well, Ray, I've got news for you.



This seedy sunovabitch is a wild banana. Friendly to humans, they are not.
And the reason that the bananas found in the wild look like that while the banana that Ray so lovingly cradles looks like a zippered pocket of fruity deliciousness is because humankind has gradually bred bananas into docile perfection over many, many generations.
So, who made the banana perfect for human consumption? We did. Ba-BOW!
This is also why pineapples are so easy to cut open and eat, by the way. Wild pineapples are basically just spiky little balls of stubbornness.



So, this hardly closes the book on Creationism and the arguments that can be made for it, but as far as fruit goes - we didn't get any help from God on that one.
