Check and Mate atheists. Check and Mate.

Ya... pretty sure there are well brought up, polite and optimistic atheists too. Whose behaviour and optimism are not brought about by threat of eternal damnation and is only due to the fact they are nice.

huh... I was just making fun of that idiot, Ray Comfort.

Amazing that that seems to be a built-in reaction in little dudes doing that thing where they hug something and put their face against it.

My oldest boy has never seen anyone do that before but he pulls the same move in similar situations, albeit not with pieces of fruit.

Kid given Banana, gives back hope for the human race.

Here's the banana god argument for reference :

Now, check out what wild bananas look like without selective breeding:

I want to know this: do our normal yellow bananas grow wild through some sort of propagation from our selectively bred bananas? If not, how do animals (like captive apes) know what bananas are/how to eat them when we give them our yellow bananas, assuming they've come from a non-yellow banana area?

Domesticated/altered plants spread back into the wild all the time, and chimps have been here as long as we have, IOW, they have learned to recognize and eat bananas by quite literally reaping our fruits, so to speak. And even if you find a chimp/great ape or even a monkey that has never seen a banana, my bet is that its going to figure it out pretty quickly, they are curios and fast learners
