if you study a well-made banana you’ll find on the far side there are three ridges. On the close side, there are two. If you get your hand ready to grip a banana you’ll find on the far side there are three grooves and on the close side two grooves. The banana and the hand are perfectly made, one for the other. You’ll find the maker of the banana, Almighty God, has made it with a non-slip surface. It has outward indicators of inward contents- green: too early, yellow: just ripe, black: too late. Now if you go to the top of the banana, you’ll find as with the soda can makers, who placed a tab at the top, so God has placed a tab at the top. When you pull the tab, the contents don’t squirt out in your face. You’ll find a wrapper which is biodegradable, and has perforations. Notice how gracefully it sits over the human hand. Notice it has a point at the top for ease of entry, it’s exactly the right shape for the human mouth, it’s chewy, easy to digest, it’s even curved toward the face.

Now I'm picturing John Cleese marching up and down the gymnasium saying to his class: "Right, what do you do if some creationist runs at you brandishing a banana?!" Cue the pistol, the ten ton weight and the tiger...

Trolling i'm hoping yet how...while humankind first encountered this fruit hundreds of years in the past we've been possibly no longer inspired by making use of the very very nearly inedible good sized wild bananas. Plant breeders grew fit to be eaten bananas by making use of grafting sterile mutants onto wild stems. This technique became repeated for years to produce the emasculated, sterile -- and defenceless -- plantation banana that at present feeds smart or dumb monkeys

Aww...you watched that video in which somebody, presumably on television, felt the need to show the world just how little power the brain needs to keep the body functioning.
He was talking about domesticated bananas. Go look at a wild banana's shape, color, and contents.

The banana as we know it, is the product of generations of selective breeding by human farmers. In fact, due to their breeding bananas are unable to propagate with out the aid of farmers.
And by the way -- the "tab" you are referring to as the top of the banana is actually the bottom, part of the stem of the banana. Apes and monkeys who munch on bananas actually open the other end.
Also, Ray Comfort, the evangelist you are quoting from, later admitted that the banana is a bad example for the creationism/evolution debate -- precisely because of its selective breeding.

Wow. Not the banana thing again.
For one, the banana you're talking about is a DOMESTICATED banana. Man-made over 1000s of years.
If you find wild bananas, they're in all weird shapes and some are always natural green.
They also don't taste that well and have seeds in them.
By the way, what was god's explanation for a coconut or a pineapple?

One can see design anywhere they wish to. After all, isn't it amazing how many clouds look like ships sailing through the sky? Does that mean that a divine source has created that picture show just so that humans can enjoy it?
Humans are the best pattern discerners on the whole planet. We love to make patterns out of all sorts of things, and yet none of them are anything more than a human perception being imposed upon observed phenomena.

Urm, bananas were engineered to be like that through cross polination. Natural bananas, the way "god made them", are full of large seeds, don't peel easily and are quite short.
So basically, you're giving God credit for man's own achievement.

And the original Hawaiians, who weren't Christians, originally wouldn't let women eat them because they believed that the shape was an obvious demonstration of male virility. By Christian standards, this would basically be the spiritual equivalent of a man going down on another man to gain said virility and would therefor be condemnable. What's your point?

Ha. You fell for that?
Have you ever tried to eat a wild banana? You can't. It will make you sick. Humans have been selectively breeding bananas for thousands of years to get the edible ones we have today. Oddly enough, it's called evolution.

You could also argue that with volcanic soil being extremely fertile, and making the slopes of volcanoes a very attractive place to have farms and villages (until the next eruption), god was also rather a sadistic practical joker.
