The Banana: Evidence of Human Stupidity
Google Video has captured beautiful proof that the followers of the intelligent designer don’t have any intelligence themselves.
So - what’s wrong with the 5 sided banana and 5 sided whole for a banana theory?
0) the presumption: no matter how smart or how capable of a designer you have, you still have the “who designed the designer” argument. But since this *specifically* is not Mr. BananaHand’s argument, we’ll just pass it by.
1) not all primates consume bananas. Bananas only grow in specific climates where humans are found all over the world. There are no bananas in Inuit country - and seals do not have 5 sides with easy pealing tabs like a coke can, but Mr. Bananahand can make a case for clubbing baby seals on how easy that is.
2) dates and nuts: if more people eat dates and nuts across the world - why are dates and nuts so damned HARD to eat? What - does gawd only want us to eat bananas or is this intelligent designer figure that an economy of dates and nuts and oil is just so damned easy?
3) hands come in different sizes. Does this mean if I eat a banana that is a little too big or too small, that the intelligent designer didn’t intend for me to eat it? If so, does this mean someone else is going to go hungry by design? What about babies? They can’t grab a banana off a tree, so they’re supposed to what… STARVE because they can’t peel a banana?
And so on… Please feel free to submit your own below…
If people are already convinced that the world is flat, the moon is blue cheese and gawd exists then they will find the coincidences to further justify stupid beliefs. Like maybe, Jerusalem is for jewish people because both Jew and Jerusalem start with the letter J. Hey, why didn’t Intelligent designer would have made Jerusalem start with F for stupid suicide bombing FUCKTARD?
Ah, I always wondered what was so bad about Adam eating the apple; clearly we are meant to only eat bananas. And corndogs.

Well, that makes as much senseless proof as
saying “there must be a god, because look how
he created the nose bridge to accommodate eyeglasses.”
I’m surprised the video creator overlooked mention that
the banana is additionally proving of a vengeful minded god because it
fits nicely tight in the tail pipe of your staunches enemy.

See? You know as well as anyone else that this sort of “proof” is ridiculous, and that no self respecting Intelligent Design proponent or Creationist would use this argument. Yet you say things like this:
“Google Video has captured beautiful proof that the followers of the intelligent designer don’t have any intelligence themselves.”
My question is this. Why do atheists seem to show guys like this all the time and act as though they are the best examples we have to offer? If all we had was this ludicrous banana theory you would be right to mock us, but fortunately we have actual arguments from scientists with real degrees who do real experiments and publish real papers in real peer reviewed journals (contrary to popular belief.)
Anyways, you wanted to know if I was here to argue. I don’t see how I could not be when stuff like this goes on. You take an example of an argument that no real ID or creationist would use and then sit around laughing about it while other people who share your views encourage it. And it’s not just you, my aggravation comes from years of seeing this sort of thing.
My real and honest question is, why do you do it? Why, if ID and creation is really so stupid do you not pick apart real arguments instead of mocking the ones that are so silly as to almost seem a joke?
