And that, let me tell you folks, is saying something; as all the arguments for the existence of God are pretty pathetic. Remember Kirk Cameron from Growing Pains? Nope, oh well, he and his insane friend have a show on some Christian network in America. In it, they explain how evolution is bunk and it was really their invisible buddy that is responsible for everything. In other words, they demonstrate beyond any reasonable doubt their extreme ignorance and stupidity.

Just in case you can’t view it, in the video, Kirk’s loony buddy, Ray Comfort, tries to convince people that the Banana was specifically designed by God for human consumption. He points to ridges on the banana that apparently fit perfectly with our hands. He points to the way the skin is peeled, and equates it with the way we open a soft drink can.  He points to the size and its relative relationship to the human mouth. He points to the curve of the banana, which is obviously designed to help us eat them. In other words, he’s going for the argument from design, an argument that has been thoroughly debunked as fallacious bullshit over a century ago.

What these dumbasses don’t seem to realise is, that even if God created bananas, he didn’t create those human friendly bananas we know and love today, we did. Selective breeding, coupled with mutation has, over centuries, transformed the almost inedible bananas with giant seeds into a product more fit for human consumption. From the biology department at the University of California:

“When humankind first encountered this fruit thousands of years ago we were probably not impressed by the almost inedible giant wild bananas. Historic mutations, rare and accidental, produced seedless bananas through chromosome triplication. Ancient humans focused on these seedless, pollen-less mutants to generate progressively more edible crops. Eventually, edible banana flesh retained only a few vague traces of the viable seeds once carried in the ancestral wild stock. Ancient plant breeders grew edible bananas by grafting sterile mutants onto wild stems. This process was repeated for thousands of years to produce the emasculated, sterile -- and defenceless -- plantation banana that currently feeds millions of people globally.”

The same is true for all domesticated crops, as well as many domesticated animals. Our modern domesticated crops would never have evolved in the wild; neither would they survive if left alone today, as many are sterile or clones. These dipshits, with their stupid arguments, are actually presenting evidence for evolution, not design. What is infuriating is their arrogance; they actually think they’re being clever. They are obviously completely unaware of how ridiculous and fallacious their arguments are. Why? Because they’ve likely never read any scientific material that didn’t fit into their absurd fantasies. They’re so ignorant; they can still think they’re being clever. Ironic, n’est pas?

This banana argument is part of their episode on how to convert atheists into their cult. You can watch the entire video here. They have a little pamphlet on how to show atheists they are really agnostic. What they don’t seem to realise is, that under their definition, they are also agnostics. They also ask atheists on the street if they are good people, completely based on their Ten Commandments. Stunning: “God will judge you based on these when you die (unless you suck up to him).” No he won’t, he doesn’t exist you fucking moron. How is this supposed to convert atheists? Simpletons. 

In addition, here’s a link (from the Atheist Jew: Lying for Jesus) to their entire evolution episode so you, too, can gasp at their stunning ignorance and breathtakingly dishonest tactics in debunking evolution. You only have to watch the first 2 minutes, where they mistakenly postulate that the big bang theory has something to do with evolution, to know that you’re going to be reaching for a sick bag on a pretty regular basis.

It’s morons like these two who support the teaching of Intelligent Design in science classes in the United States. To sum up, I’d like to quote Richard Dawkins from a recent SBS documentary:

“When one says, that in America, Intelligent Design is getting a hold; it is not getting a hold in the scientific community, in the intellectual community. It’s getting a hold only among those parts of the population who don’t know anything.”

Man, I laughed my ass off when Dawkins said that; so funny because it’s so true. The delivery was so matter-of-fact as well, which added to the hilarity. Good on you Richard, you’re my bloody hero.
