Can you explain the ‘banana’ argument in terms of a God’s existence?

Can you explain the ‘banana’ argument in terms of a God’s existence?

Yes. It was first put forward by well-known creationist Ray Comfort, and it goes like this:

Ray: The banana is an Atheist’s nightmare! Consider the features of the humble banana.

  • It is shaped to fit into the human hand.
  • It comes with a protective, non-slip surface to hold, which is also biodegradable and sits "gracefully" over the human hand.
  • It is curved towards the face for ease of consumption and does not squirt in one's face during the act.
  • There is a "pull tab" at the "top" for easy access.
  • It has a simple "colour code" to show ripeness: Green, too early. Yellow, just right. Black, too late.

It’s clear that the banana was intelligently designed by God for human consumption!

Atheists: Well, you’re half right, Ray. The banana was indeed intelligently designed for human consumption… by humans, via artificial selection. Wild bananas look like this.
