Here are the steps:
1. earth evolves
2. a rock evolves
3. a sweet bubbly substance evolves on the rock
4. an aluminum can evolves around the bubbly substance
5. a tab evolves on top of the can
Thats just stupid.
Consider the banana:
1. There is a tab on top
2. It has perforations to open the covering
3. There are 3 ridges on one side, and 2 on the other, just like your hand.
4. It is designed to fit perfectly in your mouth.
Both the can and banana were created. One was created by God. The other was created by Man. Can you guess who created which one?

Well, Kirk...
Evolution requires birth, mutation, and rebirth. The Earth is changed by erosion (volcanic activity, plate movement, etc.), but it does not "evolve" using the same definition of the word as it applies to Human Evolution.
So a soda can never miraculously grow a tab. Unless it has children, and the tab is a mutation that becomes dominant.
The other false assumption is that the banana, (more properly called a 'desert banana') is a naturally occurring fruit. It is not. It has been genetically engineered over thousands of years. This is a picture of a wild banana. It does not fit in your hand or your mouth. And is loaded with hard seeds that make it practically uneatable.

Your comparison is facetious.
The coke can was created as such because it is easy to open. Wild bananas look nothing like modern ones, weren't especially easy to open, and don't really fit in the hand. A coconut is very hard to open, and doesn't fit the hand. An elephant is very hard to open, and will squash your hand. Corn is very hard to open - impossible without tools, or just by crunching it with your teeth (maybe that's how dentists evolved!)
The next thing I know you're going to be saying "corn is amazing - it must be designed by God. Look how easy it is ground up by millstones to be made into flour!"
If ALL food was so easy to open then perhaps you would have a semblance of an argument here. Am I supposed to believe God exists because bananas exist?

Have you ever seen a wild banana? Bananas were carefully cultivated by man. And what does that make of the pineapple? How would you argue your design case there?
And until coke cans start reproducing, every generation of little cans a little different than the parents and who eventually grow up to themselves reproduce, you don't have a leg to stand on and your analogy is so simple-minded I wonder how you can manage to type and breathe at the same time.

Remember when the tab on top of the can was a little metal pull tab that came off, and you could link them together like a daisy chain, or sell them for recycle? The Coke can DID evolve.
Remember New Coke? That was a failure of evolution, and the species has thankfully died out.

The analogy is stupid. I laughed so hard I busted my pants when I saw Kirk Cameron with this argument.
Sweetie, the "banana" you eat is a HYBRID selectively engendered by HUMAN cultivation. A native banana has none of the conveniently designed features you are praising. Get it, humans "designed" the banana. The banana "created" by god, doesn't fit your bill.

The edible modern banana was actually engineered by man. Bananas which grow in the wild are hard green inedible things.

I got some little bananas last night. Were they intelligently designed by a small god?

Why would anyone believe that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... yeah, makes perfect sense

That isn't how a Coke can evolved, is it? I thought they were manufactured. They can be found in the wild? Why are we worried about recycling them then? I need to read more.
