The banana-the atheist's nightmare.
Note that the banana:
1) Is shaped for human hand
2) Has non-slip surface
3) Has outward indicators of inward content:
Green-too early,
Yellow-just right,
Black-too late.
4) Has a tab for removal of wrapper
5) Is perforated on wrapper
6) Bio-degradable wrapper
7) Is shaped for human mouth
8) Has a point at top for ease of entry
9) Is pleasing to taste buds
10) Is curved towards the face to make eating process easy
To say that the banana happened by accident is even more unintelligent than to say that no one designed the Coca Cola can.

"Has a point at top for ease of entry"
Did anyone else have blasphemous thoughts on this one? "
Of course I did! :) But then again when it comes to innuendo, I have the mental reflexes of Beavis and Butthead.
Ease of entry...huh huh, huh.
I saw this exact same argument on another website, some time back, but there, it was a joke. Are people really sure it's not one, this time around?

What does this remind you of?
No, not that, whatever were you thinking?
This must have been a result of a YEC brainstorm,or what passes for one, because it did the rounds at CF too.
It came up and was answered with "you do realise that we bred banannas to be like that don't you?"
Ah, Tenka stole my comment. Yes, none of these properties exist in the wild banana. The banana as we know it was made by man, not by God.
Sounds like my penis I think, hey ladies my penis was designed by god to fit in your mouth.
3) Has outward indicators of inward content:
flacid - too early
erect - just right
um, stuff dripping from it - too late
Wasnt the banana cultivate by man, like other crops. Basicly they started with one crop and over generation choose to keep plants with favorble characteristics and pollinate the with others with other favorable characteristics, untile we were left with the bannana in stores.
Someone really needs to explain the birds and the bees to this clown - especially the bit about seeds liking to grow in fertilised soil and if it's a distance away from the parent tree it will increase the odds of survival, and funnily enough, shitting out seeds seems to do both things and enticing fruit is used the main method for that. (I know bananas are herbs - same point).
They should also mention
11. Interesting sex toy. (no peeling kiddies)
emmmm in response to point 10 the banana can curve away from the face too - it depends on the way u hold it u fool! and whats with the "ease of entry" and "pleasing" and other sexual connotations, has "the good lord" deprived u of sex for so long you now feel the need to put it into ur religious opinions and inflict ur desperation on everyone else??
1) Is shaped for a monkeys hand
2) Has non-slip surface, for tree eating
3) Has outward indicators of inward content:
Green-too early, monkey must wait
Yellow-just right, yum for monkey
Black-too late, mushy for monkey
4) Has a tab for removal of wrapper, easy for monkey to open
5) Is perforated on wrapper
6) Bio-degradable wrapper, monkey doesn't have a bin
7) Is shaped for monkey mouth
8) Has a point at top for ease of entry, monkey wants to have fun
9) Is pleasing to taste buds, monkeys favourite food
10) Is curved towards the face to make eating process easy, unless the monkey twists it around, and then its screwed
I wonder if anyone ever sat him down and tried to explain green bananas to him that are always raw and cooked much like potatoes instead of eaten like yellow, dessert bananas.
I also love the fact that they originate from Asian - By his logic I suppose his god favors these non-Christians more as he gave these people the one fruit that was supposedly perfectly made for man. Then again maybe it was his god's plan to wait for the modern world to come about so he could convince these heathens that they need to spread the almighty banana to the deserving Christian population and their trade really has nothing to do with wanting to make a profit...What an idiot. The least he could've done was to research the fruit before opening his mouth. Ten minutes on the Internet and you can find a lot about the history of this "perfect" fruit before cultivation. Including the glorious fact that they, like everything else, would be filled with seeds if it were not for man's ability to use their brain more so than this guy.
All this nonsense does is lower his position as any rational person with common sense and the ability to check facts can debunk it.
Seems to me the dude's right! Much like the Cola Can, the banana was created - likely by a committee! But see the wonderful fig - hard? Leave it for a while longer. Soft and not visibly rotting? Eat! And look - nothing to discard! HOLY SHIT IN HELL! Plus, it's perfectly fitted for your closed hand! HIDE IT FROM GREEDY STRANGERS AND FRIENDS ALIKE! You could even eat it in one bite in most cases - WOW! And, magically enough, you could rationalize the perfectness of anything else you encounter. And that's a good quality to have - it has a lot to do with optimism and innovation - traits not too common among those of the herd. Now, from the site the banana came from - "Second, we have faith in plenty of things we don't understand. Did you understand the mechanics of television before you turned it on? Probably not. You took a step of faith, turned it on, and after it worked, understanding how it worked wasn't that important. We accept that there are unseen television waves right in front of our eyes. We can't see them because they are invisible. For them to manifest, we need a receiver, then we can enjoy the experience of television." First off, understanding the TV means being able to fix it yourself, at little or no cost, much like viewing the world yourself allows you to avoid cults - not quite unimportant, eh? Second, turning it on didn't require me much faith... That was curiosity, something herds tends to discourage. Third, no such thing as "television waves" to accept, good sir. But hell, that's not really important, is it? BTW, isn't the "desert banana" one of the most disease-susceptible fruits?

Uh...
Also, Ray, what about the Durian? It's hard and spiky, and has a smell that some people would compare to rotting fish, however, the fruit is sweet.
The grapefruit- Hard on the outside, bitter on the inside, yet it's one of the healthiest and most nutritious things you could eat.
The mango- delicious, but extremely juicy, messy, and sticky.
"delicious, but extremely juicy, messy, and sticky"
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, pussy
Even a dumber and unashamed liar than Hovind, and that's pretty bad
To anyone who has'nt seen the video of this, search it on U-Tube. It's a laugh riot
How do you get down from an elephant? You don't, you get down from a duck, But god wants us to get down from an elephant, but we can't get down from an elephant unless we have a duck with us to get down from both of them. Makes sense, don't you think?
I don't know about monkeys and apes "loathing bananas" - I've seen plenty of them eating them up at the zoo, but they eat them sideways. So much for the "perfect shape", easy to remove wrapper, etc.

Are you sure "god" was thinking about "bananas" for this one?
Monkeys have been around 25 million plus years.
More than enough time for a fruit that fits into primate hands, looks colorful to primate eyes and tastes good to primate tastebuds to evolve.
I saw a YouTube video to this effect that was a Poe. Either this guy is doing the same joke, or someone saw it and thought it was serious - fundies as well as FSTDT commentators fall for Poes, after all.
To say that the yellow "Cavendish" banana was created by humans through selective breeding is just as intelligent as saying the Coca Cola Can was created by humans through selective design. You have seen wild bananas , right?
IF some god or other designed the banana, why did s/he make it in the form of a dildo? Did s/he mean for them to be something for girls and gay guys to practice fellatio on?
Curved towards the face? Guess min are faulty then, they always curve away from the face...
Someone needs to tell this 'hole that gawd didn't create the obelisk-shaped yellow banana. Bananas are actually more football shaped and green. Long, yellow bananas are the result of human cultivation and the release of CO (or CO2, I'm too lazy to double check right now) during the transportation of the fruit to delay ripening.
Try explaining coconuts, then. You need a fucking toolbox to open one of those things.
Or watermelons. Eat one slice and you're spitting out pips for the next hour.
I wonder how many bananas Kirk & Ray throw out because once they get one unzipped it turns out to be yet another one turned around the wrong way away from their face, so they toss it out and try another.
Kirk: "Hey, Ray, don't toss that one, it's a "lefty"; aimed at me ."

Uh...wait! This is a perfect idea for a riddle!
You're actually not supposed to open it from the so-called "tab," which is actually the bottom of the fruit- the stem. It's actually much easier to open it from the other end.
Also, what the hell. Are you people just grasping at straws, now?
Plantains.
Your call, Ray Cumfart.
Note that Ray Comfort:
1) Thinks humans had nothing to do with the domestication of the banana
2) Thinks "bibliophile" means "bible pedophile"
2) Spells "heinous" as "hennas"
4) Spells "thoughts" as "thorts"
5) Thinks his eyes have no blind spot and humans can have eyes transplanted
6) Thinks evolution claims individuals evolve during their own lifetime
7) Thinks evolution claims male and female evolved separately, each by "splitting in half" before they each simultaneously evolved compatible organs and processes for sexual reproduction
8) Thinks evolution claims to explain abiogenesis, gravity, seasons, and the positions of the sun and the planets
9) Thinks existence of the Crocoduck would confirm evolution
10) Claims to care about logic and intellectual honesty
Confused?
