So if the easy to eat banana is supposed to prove the existence of God, what exactly does the artichoke prove?
Update: There is some suggestion in the comments that this is a joke. But it’s real. The guy in the video is Ray Comfort, a New Zealand-born minister and evangelist. It came from his Christian talk show.

Is it just me or does this video look like a video teaching how to please a young male?
Notice he says “if you study a well made banana” implying there are bananas that aren’t well made? Suggesting even God can make imperfect bananas?
Or did the human hand evolve because our ancestors survived because their hands evolved to grab the bananas? Or not. Whatever.
I have seen the LIGHT! There is a GOD!
What an amazing piece of convoluted logic. There is one fruit on the planet that fits our hands and it happens to be a monkey’s favorite meal.
Oh come on, this is just flamebait. That said, watermelon is so succulent and delicious, God must have designed it just for us.
Score one more convert here!
Watching that banana video was a transformational experience for my pet monkey — he just consecrated his life to Jesus! It was very moving to watch, actually, but now I have to buy him underpants because he suddenly feels so naked.
“That said, watermelon is so succulent and delicious, God must have designed it just for us.”
I’m sorry David, but you’re incorrect. Obviously the watermelon evolved over millions and billions of years so we could throw them off of buildings.
Of all the fruit they pick a banana. Bananas we eat are sterile and produced through grafting. Selective breeding through centuries have made them into the form we see. Genetics engineering by humans at work! Humans made the banana as it is today, not God.
God didn’t make those bananas we did.

Boooooo. Joy killer.
Alright, so the banana is out.
But look how convenient god placed our nose! Where else would we be able to place our glasses?
Pseudoscience at its best. Next he’ll prove that the male reproduction organ fits perfectly into an altar boy’s mouth, so God meant for priests to put it there..
Lets see him do it with a bratwurst sausage next
just read comments…
LOL!!!! #11 – thats a perfect argument, i’ll remember it lol
Hmmmmmmm
I wonder what the “Flying Spaghetti Monster” would have to say about that….
Wrong. Last night was an atheist’s dream and nightmare, rolled into one. Because it proves that there is a God, but at least he’s just as sick of Bush as we are.
He’s also on the no-fly list.

The Catholic church will have a priest sing one of Sabrina’s hits in their next recruitment commercial.
A banana isn’t the only thing that fits perfectly in the mouth, just ask Ted Haggard.
#16
Never thought I’d see/hear about her again.
Downloaded the video just to, eh, see if, eh, it was like I remember.
MTV sure has lost it’s zilch 😀
Great idea – shame the modern banana is a perfect example of how breeding can introduce changes.
The modern banana is a testament to how man has changed the natural world. Nothing to do with god at all.
#19
That’s what YOU think.
But guess who MADE man change the natural world? 😉
“But guess who MADE man change the natural world?”
Woman?!
“I’m tired of living in this forest!” “I’m tired of living in this cave!” “I’m tired of living in this hut!” “I’m tired of living in this shack!” “I’m tired of living in this cabin!” “I’m tired of living in this house!” “I’m bored of this mansion, get a better job so we can buy a bigger one!”

Looking at Sabrina’s video, I gotta tell you, women,/b>. Definitely 😀
“Looking at Sabrina’s video, I gotta tell you, women,/b>. Definitely”
You think?!
Well, the song kinda sukks, but it was great fun to watch again. Man, gotta be 15 years?
Anyway, I’m glad the lyrics finally got it’s proper use in the recruitment commercial. Showing the video in it would surely have been a bummer though….
Bananas OK
But as the Duchess said to the Dirtwater Fox, Please don’t touch me Plums.
Does the above bit of nonsense make me as looney as the guy in the video?
This guy’s a bonehead- monkeys open bananas from the other side. They know it’s easier. Wow it’s almost as though monkeys selected the bananas that fit their hand and mouth best and those are the ones that most successfully produced offspring!
Still laughing…can’t talk.
11 and 17 kinda beat me to it. “The tip is just perfect to fit into the human mouth…” okaaayyyyyyy…
#10, are you saying God gave me bad eyes and a centered nose so that I could wear glasses? Fruck!
Bananas, as they appear today, are genetically engineered to appear that way. They are called Cavendish Bananas, and have only been available since the 1950s. They’re much larger than naturally-occurring bananas, and contain no seeds. In other words, modern science is what designed the modern banana, not God.
The interesting side-effect about them having no seeds is that, to be grown, they all have to be cloned. That’s right, every single banana you can buy in any store in the United States, and much of the rest of the world, is a CLONE!
Another interesting side-effect of them having no seeds and all being clones is that they are unable to evolve disease resistance (that’s right, EVOLVE). For this reason, something called the Panama disease is slated to cause the Cavendish banana to possibly become extinct in the next decade or so, at which point a different banana type will have to be developed (which is exactly what happened in the 1950s).
Isn’t it interesting how possessing rudimentary knowledge of simple trivia facts can so thoroughly debunk these ignorant fools?
