So, what about these bananas anyway?

Ok, the post yesterday was a bit of an inside joke.  I was looking up information on a couple people who recently participated in a debate attempting to prove scientifically the existence of god. Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron debated with a couple of atheist on a ABC program (ABC what were you thinking?), using "undeniable scientific proof" Ray Comfort was to settle the question "once and for all". In my search to find out who this Ray Comfort fellow was, and get a preview of his amazing insight on the existence of the Christian god I found a video example of his argument.

"Behold, the atheist nightmare," Mr. Comfort exclaims, as he pick up his prop. Atheist everywhere shutter at the sight of...a single domesticated banana? What? For real? Yes... For real. He explains how the there's ridges and groves on our hands that match perfectly. He continues with several other important design elements of the banana, the perforations (um...), the pull tab at the top which when pulled doesn't squirt the contents into your face, and the point at the top for ease of entry and that it's shaped perfectly for the human mouth (um...are we still talking about bananas?) .

All these things Mr. Comfort uses as proof of the existence god. Other, more rational thinking people, may argue that it does nothing more than to show that we're pretty good at domesticating bananas.

So many things wrong with that video I'm not even sure which one to start with first. Luckily for me, This You Tube Video does it for me.
