Is this for real? This is a joke, right? A parody. Because NO ONE could be that thick.

dear daphne -
i am afraid to say it's no joke. it's a laugh/cry kinda thing, for me.

Nope, no joke. File this under found humor. File this under the funniest @#&^%$%*& found humor in the world. File this under it fits my mouth perfectly.

I'd love to see him tackle the pineapple.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.

hahahaha ... don't even get started with the banana ...

and so why aren't animals kneeling over for humans to have their meals? Why do they struggle? oh wait, so we were meant to be vegetarians? ...

Hey I believe in both God and evolution ( I know one of those "best of both world kind of guys")this was an embarressment for both sides (God made THIS guy? and Evolution came up with THIS guy?) LMAO. Nice one bout the pineapple BobBob....I was thinking bout the coconut myself.

I thought it was hilarious, like some stoned guy's appreciation of life.

I love the weak background.

Alright: let's pretend to take this hilarious video serious for a moment. This is, in fact, the ~creationist's~ nightmare. Why? Well, for one thing, why is the banana the only food that is this convenient? The creationist cannot answer that. The evolutionist can. Remember, bananas are a monkey's favorite food, right? This is a case of cooperative evolution. The banana evolved specifically to be eaten by primates. Banana trees that produced bananas that were comfortable and convenient for primates to eat got their fruit eaten more often. The seeds passed through the primate (monkey, ape or human)'s body onto the ground somewhere away from the original tree's position, in a nice, healthy pile of fertilizer.

No, I can't back any of this up. But it sounds at least as likely as the solution in the video, doesn't it?

Was that a debate on Atheism/>?

1. eat a banana
2. experience the majesty of a sunset
3. hmmmmmmmmm

Just to say, not all bannanas have three ridges on one side and two on the other, i had one the other day which had two sets on both sides.

Stick that oh so easily into one of your holes!!

This is the whole episode from the Evangelist Ray Comfort series. Its running time is 28:37.



The Way of The Master Episode 7 The Beauty of a Broken Spirit - Atheism:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5479410612081345878

why don't I think any atheists are worried about this video?

And I always thought beans were the magical fruit

This is especially funny because, as an intense biology nerd, I know about the history of how we got our SEEDLESS (hint) bananas...

"The domestic banana that we know and love is an asexual clone, one that results from the sedate, artificial act of vegetative propagation."

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/07/0726_wirebanana.html

"The banana originated from seed bearing relatives in south-east Asia and the Pacific. The wild relatives were inedible, however a cross between two produced a sterile plant that has developed or been shaped into the varieties of edible banana and plantain growing today. Once this new edible fruit was discovered, it was spread using “suckers,” or offshoots from the base of the plant, perhaps being the first fruit farmed by man."

http://home.wlu.edu/~dennisp/intr132/Project/history.html

Yes, wild bananas, 'as God intended them', have hella seeds (as the kids say), and are inedible. These guys really need to do just minimal amounts of research before they make these ridiculous anti-evolution pieces. Just like every 'good' piece of evidence against evolution, after a little research it ends up being exactly the opposite. Mutation and the hand of man had a huge part in crafting that banana he's holding ... oooh, the irony.

That's pretty interesting bamdrew - I didn't know that wild bananas were inedible.

what a dumb example.. were we meant to eat primarily bananas? How about Corn? Or Okra? They are a pain in the ass to clean and eat. What about meat? How come the animals don't run up and jump in my pan?

Wow, I just feel stupified right now. And best sift title ever "Behold: the Atheists' Nightmare".

I think deep down that the majority of Christians (excluding the more crazy/fanatical) are really pantheists, meaning they're in awe of nature, of existence - but don't actually believe in a supernatural being who has control over events.
At least I hope so. Otherwise, we're all fucked. ;-)

LOL, I'd almost forgotten about this little nugget of nincompoopiness. They exhibit an infantalized relationship with the world: it's all about ME.

A friend of mine once happend upon an unlikely optical illusion, and showed me. I write "unlikely" because in order to see the effect, I had to stand where he had been standing, in the underside of a cool public waterfall, looking through the falling water at a tree illuminated by the setting sun, holding my head at just the right height and at just the right angle, then squinting. And he was right, it was a cool-looking effect.

... This video's banana story is similar. I can kinda enjoy the silly "let's imagine"; "let's imagine the banana is like a soda can, designed for us to use." I can play that sort of game, and even enjoy it. But when these banana worshippers insist their fantasies are true, it's as if my waterfall friend had told me that the vision we saw was the way the world *really* is, and the fact that we saw it was incontrovertible proof. Right.

"little nugget of nincompoopiness" LOL that was great

I fear no banana!


Arrr!

An upvote, not for the content, but for the discussion and debunking. Nice work bamdrew.

Damn you Kirk Cameron, damn you straight to hell...just because he believes in it. I like the first comments of "If you study a well made banana..." Mis-shaped ones need not apply.

Satan must have created pomegranates.

Arrr!

That's a nice idea. Hadn't considered that thought before, but I'm sure that's what kept me being a 'believer' for all those years. Existence is indeed something worthy of awe. It's probably hard, too, for people to experience that awe without placing the responsibility of it onto a divine being. Anthropomorphism at its best.

And am I the only one that peels bananas from the non-stem end? If you rip it at the stem it squishes the top of the banana. It's so much cleaner to puncture it with your nail, and rip it off. It even gets rid of that nasty nub at the end.

"While in no danger of outright extinction, the most common edible banana cultivar 'Cavendish' (extremely popular in Europe and the Americas) could become unviable for large-scale cultivation in the next 10–20 years. Its predecessor 'Gros Michel', discovered in the 1820s, has already suffered this fate. Like almost all bananas, it lacks genetic diversity, which makes it vulnerable to diseases, which threaten both commercial cultivation and the small-scale subsistence farming."

oh the irony, evolution kills the very banana he is holding in his hands.

You know what else is just the right shape for the human mouth?

Hmm humans like bananas and monkeys like bananas?
