Banana God
The cultural war between creationists and scientists+everyone else has taken hold on Youtube over the past few year... with videos debunking literal interpretations of "holy" books getting millions of bickering comments.
I too tried to put my 2 cents into the whole ignorant-design debate, only to encounter the unbelievable believers.
A devout Christian yesterday suggested that I should look at the perfect banana, as the evidence that god exist. [Serious!] He said the banana is just too amazing and has to be designed by god for human consumption since it:-
1) Is perfect for the human hands to hold
2) Has non-slippery surface
3) Has a handle at one end to remove the wrapper
4) Has color indication on the surface about it's content
5) Green is too early for eating
6) Yellow is just right
7) Black is too late
.
.
10) Nicely shaped for the mouth
Blimme.
So I wrote back:-
1) Fits 4 monkey hands + elephant trunk as well
2) Not until you step on it
3) Elephants don't peel, neither did stupid humans when banana was 1st popularized 130 yr ago
4) Oh you do have common sense!?
5) U don't have 2 eat green banana only bcos scientists discovered ethylene
6) Not all bananas r yellow. Some red, some purple!
7) Black mushy ones r 4 baking
.
.
10) So is my penis.
[Yes I did.]

I think God does exist because of the perfection of bananas...but I also think God is a female chicken...I worship the chicken goddess that is perched on a big banana in the big tree in the sky...
