Ray Comfort is wrong, but I'm not entirely sure if bananas are delicious. I don't eat them very frequently.

Anyone, who here is familiar with Ray Comfort? The guy that claims the Dessert Banana (more on that later) is "The atheists worst nightmare."

Watch the short video starring everybody's favorite creationists, Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron!

Seems like a perfectly rational argument from design, right? Well, aside from the entire human mind "built for design" thinking and all that, let's just take a look at exactly what a dessert banana is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavendish_banana

Ladies and gentleman, the sterile banana. The mutations that we so love about our yellow banana, has caused them to become sterile. They have no seeds. Instead, the plant, from what I know, simply replaces itself over and over in an asexual cloning method. These fascinating yellow bananas are a result of artificial selection by everybody's favorite ape, the human.

Ray Comfort's argument that the yellow banana is the atheists worst nightmare, may have just turned against him.



And yes, we're apes.

So. Banana's. are they delicious?

They ARE delicious, but they are also manmade. Natural bananas (plantains) are difficult to eat and not tasty. If God had really created anything, ALL food would be delicious and convenient.

I like bananas. They´re good for you, too: lots of potassium and vitamin K.

And that Ray "My brain was eaten by a crocoduck" Comfort uses this artificial fruit as an example is deliciously ironic.

I'm not sure that you really thought this through. Man did not create the banana plant. Bananas are not chemical, synthetic, or anything of that nature. Of course man is able to tweak fruits, cross them, etc. But man can only do this with what was already created by God. Sorry, your argument doesn't hold up.
