    has anyone seen the video going around on the Internet, which basically
    argues that the existence of BANANA proves GOD exists:

    ----------------------------
    excerpt from the video:
    - bananas are designed objects, because they fit snugly into a human's hand,
    they even have ridges to allow for a tighter grip, a colour code___turns yellow
    when they are ripe and a convenient tab at the bottom for peeling them.
    what better prooffor the existence of god.

    by the way, this video had WON awards, and been show in over 70 countries.
    -----------------------------

    NOW, my opinion:

    these guys who made this video must have not seen all the varieties of
    banana in the world.
    I had seen many;
    most of the bananas, I've seen and eaten have "SEEDS" in them---some seeds are quit large too.
    unlike those that are now being sold in the supermarkets. surprised????
    some are so large you cannot hold them properly with one hand, and
    some are so small, there like finger-size!!!
    some are sour too.
    And I always open a banana FROM the flower end.



    here it goes again.....hehe

    some people ( myself included) wonder what would those creationists say about the "durian" fruit
    those fruit stink to high-heaven!!!! a lot of people liked them, though.
    I avoid them in Chinatown's fruit stands.

    1st of all... this idea is illogical...

    So what happens to the other 1,000,000 other fruits in the world?... Those are then all just piece of crap?...

    You can't just use 1 object to declare everything in the world to be creationism... BTW I'm Catholic but this make Christian look stupid

    em no. no way man.
     
  14. countryboy, would i be wrong in assuming there is some kind of ongoing battle within you as you try to find reason after reason to not believe in the creator? no one provoked you to write this so i wonder what prompted you?, maybe you did it cus you care about us so much?

    I think the guy was trying to show the intelligent design of everything around us, Christians and those searching realised that while some others probably missed the point.

    ultimately, the aim of this post is not to mock the video but attempt to prove God does not exist. anyway as i always say, if you dont believe, fine. its your life and your choice. Like the rest us will do, you Live you life, Die, and be judged. if you dont believe then fine, you have nothing to worry about. The end.

    nyckeion ....Boo....

    i doubt he is implying there is something wrong he is just commenting all the differnet kinds of fruits just because a fruit is shaped that way then its designed for eating so when was animals designed for eating ...do they have a eat me sign anywhere? and apples , oranges, watermelon so those are not designed to eat i assumed
     
  16. i stand by the comment i made
     
  17. nyckeion

    nyckeion ....Boo....
