It's the ridiculous argument that Intelligent Design advocates (most notably Kirk Cameron) have used to suggest that bananas were obviously intelligently designed since they are so phallic and easy to put into your mouth, and have a ripened fruit signalling system to tell critters that would eat them and spread their seeds that the fruit is ready.
Note that they ignore (or are ignorant of) the fact that bananas are no longer capable of reproducing on their own, due to artificial selection and breeding by humans, and have to be assisted in pollination - they can no longer exist in the wild.

lol. thats the silliest thing Ive ever heard... I mean, use a BANANA to prove the existence of god??? if it were me, I would use the whole carbon cycle thing. I mean, seriously. we breath in oxygen, and breath out carbondioxide, as do other animals. then, plants "breath in" carbon dioxide and "breath out" oxygen. its the perfect cycle. AMAZING. someone must have thought of that, its so perfectly planned. too bad we ruined that with cars and what not. kinda stupid to say that though considering im sitting here at my computer saying we destroyed the earth by burning fossil fuels lol. whatever, were all gonna die anyway =/. sorry, got a bit off topic. bye =)

It was proposed by the "brainy" member of the Way of the Master dynamic duo, Ray Comfort. His claim was that the banana was clearly designed by God for the purpose of being eaten because of its features (handy pull tab, fits the mouth, fits the hand, etc.). He stopped making the claim when he was shown the wild banana instead of the domesticated one. They aren't the same.

It's the idea that the banana is the perfect food, so it must have a creator behind it, because it "fits perfectly in your hand" and it's "easy to open." The whole nonsense kind of falls apart once you start to think about coconuts and watermelons.

one of the most ignorant arguments in existance.
it argues that because the banana fits so well in the human hand, has an easy open "wrapper", is healthy and blah blah blah, it proves that there was intelligent design...
however the banana was cultivated to be what it is. if you look at wild bananas they are nothing like what you see in the grocery store.

Supposidly the shape of bananas and how they fit in our hands prove God, lol.
But the bananas they use as evidence weren't invented until a few centuries ago by botanists.

Yeah, but if you're a spoonfed ignoramus, the banana argument makes perfect sense. Maybe we should teach it in science class! LOL

Bananas:
have a tab to open them
taste good
are good for you
tell you when they are ripe/rotten by color
easy to hold
curve toward the mouth
Must have been designed.
They were, about 7000 years ago by man. Wild bananas are nasty.

A bunch of monkeys arguing about whether the banana was created for monkeys or humans.
