Fruit is a lure. Plants bear fruit in an attempt to get animals to eat their seeds and deposit them (complete with their own little batch of fertilizer) somewhere else so the plant can reproduce.
I also seem to remember from Bio 101 that apples are an apple tree's equivalent of human ovaries. Now that's an analogy that'll stick with you.

I think your question is kind of strange but... fruit is like a plant. It's a living thing - until you pick it. They could be just deformed plants that coincidently is good food for humans. And what could it be used for besides OUR consumption? Other living things' consumptions, of course! Some insects eat plants. Ever wonder why sometimes there are worms in an apple? Duh, they're eating! Or sometimes bears eat the berries. And same with vegetables, they could be just deformed subterreanean plants.
And why do fruits and vegetables exist you're asking? You think this supernatural being named "God" did it? Well it's the same thing as humans. They may exist for just consumption too.
Fruits and vegetables weren't formed specifically for consumption. They're living things too, you know.

Fruit is made so when it drops on the ground it provides nutrients for the seeds to grow in as the fruit decomposes. When most animals eat fruit the seeds go through the body and come out the other end... days later far from the tree which the fruit came from. Now thats a better system of spreading seeds than wind isn't it.. and with instant compost.
Now heres one for you. Who made god?

The plant bears fruit so that beings will eat it then excrete the seeds in a new different place, where they will grow and create a new tree. It's not any god's work that made this be it's just the way plants spread their seeds. Try and remember not just humans eat fruit, animals too.

Fruit is a mechanism by which plants spread their seeds. The plant drops its fruits, animals eat the fruit, walk or run a little, then release the seeds via their fecal matter. This gives plants more of a chance to propogate. Plants with this mechanism would be more likely to produce viable offspring, which would then survive to produce more plants with fruit.

What serves you as a substitute for logic and reason is a logical fallacy (a flaw in thinking) known as the "Argument From Incredulity"... which is a sub-category of the "Argument ad Ignorantiam" (Argument From Ignorance). It goes something like this: "I can't conceive of how this might have come to be; therefore, God did it."
That does not represent a limitation of nature... it represents a limitation of knowledge or intellect. Also, it is intellectually dishonest, since it does not ACKNOWLEDGE the limitation of knowledge or intellect... it merely invokes the fanciful idea of a supernatural creator-entity to manifest the ILLUSION that cognitive dissonance has been resolved. It substitutes 'faith' for fact, and 'belief' for knowledge... but neither faith nor belief are sufficient to sustain reason... they are only sufficient to sustain willful ignorance.
That is the epitome of self-delusion.

Fruit is how plants procreate. They contain seeds, and when the fruit falls to the ground and decomposes, the seeds are left in the dirt, and a new tree or plant is formed! The miracle of life. They're not just here for our enjoyment.
And also:

The answers will not be revaled here, we do not yet posess the capabilities of understanding things of this magnatude. The soul travels on to learn more complicated things after it leaves the body, just as the soul learned things before it was placed in the body. These things we learned previously are called "natural instints" The natural instincts we perfect while in this body will give us the tools we need to learn when the soul becomes a baby again after it is released from the constraints of the body. The search for the truth is more important to the soul than trying to come to conclusions now. Only through prayer and meditation can the soul listen for the answers that we are capapble of understanding now.

i'm a non believer and that i dont get offended in certainty I come right here for the leisure and enjoyment of analyzing how loopy people who do have confidence get. And approximately praying thats a authentic good one. each and all the praying interior the international hasnt made something extra advantageous. tell me of only one internet site interior the bible that speaks in basic terms of staggering issues the place no longer one comprehend killing and suffering looks only one internet site different than for the 1st actual internet site because there wasnt any human beings yet. If prayer somewhat works flow and play with some rattle snakes and pray that they dont chew you.
