Creationists claim that banana's are proof of Intelligent Design. And they are right.

The Creationists make the following points to show how bananas must have been designed:

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

However, and this is why a working knowledge of science can be so helpful in rejecting stupid assertions like this one, our modern day bananas did not simply grow wild, they were "guided" by the hand of man: Those first bananas that people knew in antiquity were not sweet like the bananas we know today, but were cooking bananas or plantain bananas with a starchy taste and composition. The bright yellow bananas that we know today were discovered as a mutation from the plantain banana by a Jamaican, Jean Francois Poujot, in the year 1836. He found this hybrid mutation growing in his banana tree plantation with a sweet flavor and a yellow color—instead of green or red, and not requiring cooking like the plantain banana. The rapid establishment of this new exotic fruit was welcomed worldwide, and it was massively grown for world markets.

Now you may be wondering how anybody was ever influenced by such a ridiculous assertion in the first place and I would have to direct you to "Growing Pains" teen heartthrob Kirk Cameron and his partner in scientific retardation, Ray Comfort. Here rather then explain the stupidity myself, I will just let you see the video.



Now this truly is one of the dumbest arguments ever made to demonstrate God's hand in the creation of our planet, but it was made much worse by this Comfort guy and Cameron claiming that this is irrefutable proof of design. Well Spanky consider your "proof" refuted.

And by the way using this same logic, then doesn't it stand to reason that the existence of the coconut proves there isn't a God? I mean have you ever tried to open one of those things without tools?
