This isn't the only one. I've had people tell me that zebra's stripe also prove god's intelligent artistic touch, and refer me to "Ask the animals and they will teach you" - Job, some random chapter/verse.

"Nothing is more humbling than to look with a strong magnifying glass at an insect so tiny that the naked eye sees only the barest speck and to discover that nevertheless it is sculpted and articulated and striped with the same care and imagination as a zebra. Apparently it does not occur to nature whether or not a creature is within our range of vision, and the suspicion arises that even the zebra was not designed for our benefit."
-Rudolf Arnheim

Is that not the best quote ever?

OH EM GEE. Lemme tell you. They totally converted me back to Christianity with their smart bananas and non life giving peanut butter!

Answer 1

did you watch the peanut butter one too?

Answer 2

No, bananas do not prove ID.

I'm a Christian who has sufficient scientific evidence to know that
(1) evolution as proposed by Darwin could DEFINITELY not have been the mechanism that brought about any change from one species to a higher one.
(2) the other mechanism (punctuated equilibrium) is even less viable - evolutionists themselves call that concept 'hopeful monsters'.
(3) "special creation" and "life came from outer space" are the only other two options.

I choose to believe in special creation. Can I prove it? Certainly no !

Answer 3

I had someone visiting a few months ago, and we were had discussed intelligent design theory and were of differing opinions on the subject. I have a pet rabbit with very nice markings, and I introduced my friend to the rabbit. My friend looked at the rabbit and then said to him (very pointedly, looking at me), "Yep...someone sure designed YOU!"

"There's a cat next door that was born with no back legs, and she has to drag her backside around all over the place," I replied. "Was she designed too?"

"Aww", he says, "That's just a, what do you call it, mutation! A genetic mutation!"



Hey! Maybe the hands of primates evolved the way they did so they could better hold bananas.

Answer 4

A banana basically proves that to those with the psychological skills of a banana, and the pineapple provides a good counterexample that factors out the flaws of their fallacy.

Answer 5

"My response is that when Creationists talk about God creating every individual species as a separate act, they always instance hummingbirds, or orchids, sunflowers and beautiful things. But I tend to think instead of a parasitic worm that is boring through the eye of a boy sitting on the bank of a river in West Africa, [a worm] that's going to make him blind. And [I ask them], 'Are you telling me that the God you believe in, who you also say is an all-merciful God, who cares for each one of us individually, are you saying that God created this worm that can live in no other way than in an innocent child's eyeball? Because that doesn't seem to me to coincide with a God who's full of mercy." David Attenborough

In their eagerness to shout about the beauty of the world they seem to forget all about the ugliness

Answer 6

Nah not a bit. Thx for the clip I really enjoy seeing a moron show just how stupid he really is. There certainly was no intelligent design in making that human.

Answer 7

I love this one. It must have been made to brainwash children, I swear. I'd be disappointed if this gobbledegook hit home with adults. Still, it wouldn't be the first time that I was disappointed.

Answer 8

The funniest part is that so many christians take that video seriously!

Answer 9

what they called it as the intelligent design? I think this believers are the most dumb design.
